What happens after I apply?
We will have the student lottery on March 4th, 2020.
The lottery is done at random; you do not have increased chances of admittance if you apply early or later. 

​How does the lottery system work?
If the Charter School receives a number of applications that exceed the number of available seats at any given grade level, a random public lottery will be hosted. The public random drawings shall be conducted in stages in accordance with the following preferences in the priority order listed below. These preferences are authorized in accordance with applicable law and will be given to students consistent with Education Code section 47605(d)(2)(B) in this order:
  • Siblings of students admitted to or attending the Charter School*
  • Children of Caliber Schools: K-8 Charter teachers and staff
  • Children of Caliber Schools Board members
  • Children of Founding Family members
  • Children who are residents of the District and eligible to receive free or reduced price meals
  • Residents of the District
  • ​All other applicants

*Siblings include biological siblings, as well as children in non-traditional families, including children of domestic partners, step-siblings, adoptive (both formal and non), and school age children living in the same household. 
​
Families are encouraged to contact the front office with questions in this area.
​
How will I learn the results for the lottery?
Families will receive either a text or email immediately following the lottery with the results. 

What happens if I'm not accepted from the lottery?
Students who are not offered admission from the lottery will automatically be placed on a waitlist. ​
