How admission works
The school’s admissions page says a lottery is held if new applications exceed the spaces available in any grade, and current students and their siblings get priority. The page was taking applications for the 2026-27 school year when we checked.
Orange County Public Schools does not handle charter school enrollment: “Each charter school has its own application and enrollment process,” the district says on its list of charter schools, and families must contact the school about its lottery and process.
