How admission works

Enrollment at Orlando Science Schools “is based on a Lottery/Waitlist system,” according to its enrollment page. Applications made during the open window go into the lottery drawing; later applications join a waitlist month by month. The school’s site said the application season for 2027-28 was open when we checked, and families may list up to three Orlando Science campuses.

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.
