Priority Admission & Enrollment Lottery
Priority admission is given siblings of currently enrolled students and children of staff, followed by all student applications within the Portland Public School District. If we receive more applications during our first phase of admission than we have spaces available in any given grade, state law requires us to conduct a lottery to determine admission.
1 - Once priority seating for siblings of currently enrolled students and children/dependents of employees is complete, the rest of the applicants participate in our enrollment lottery.
2 - Students who reside out of the Portland Public Schools district will be placed on the waiting list after all in-district applicants have been placed in the lottery.
Waiting List
After all classes have been filled to capacity, applicants not initially offered admission will be placed, still in order, on a waiting list for their appropriate grade level. If an enrollment seat becomes available before or during the school year, the next student on the waiting list will be offered a seat. If that student declines, the next student on the list is offered the seat and so on. Families will be contacted via email or phone to let them know the number that their child/children holds on the waiting list.
The lottery process determines the initial order of placement of the waiting list. Students applying after the deadline will be added to the waiting list in the order by which applications are received. The waiting list does not carry over to the next school year; if a space is not offered, an applicant must re-apply for the next school year.
