How do students apply to the school?
The Community Schoolhouse
The Community Schoolhouse has a combined
150-student enrollment capacity in grades 9-12. Applications for enrollment are accepted throughout
the year. However, new students are not selected during the current year
unless openings become available. If openings occur during the current year, a
random lottery is held from the pool of available applicants. The lottery
pool is not ranked according to when applications are submitted. An Open Enrollment period is conducted each spring –
with an initial application deadline of April 30 – for available openings for
the following school year. At that time, if applications exceed the number
of positions available, the school will utilize a random lottery system based on
state law. Based on the number of students electing not to enroll, an additional
lottery may be held in early summer for all the newly available spaces. The
school will then maintain a waiting list/lottery pool during the school year.
The lottery will be governed by the following rules: ·
The spring
lottery for available openings for the following school year will be conducted
by May 15 from the waiting list of interested applicants for spaces available.
Applications submitted after May 7 will not be included in the initial
lottery. ·
Students
successfully completing the prior school year are automatically allowed entrance
at the start of the school year. Returning
students must complete a Returning Student Enrollment Form by May 12 to ensure
their space for the following year. ·
If a student
attending The Community Schoolhouse successfully completes the school
year – and has a sibling(s) who desires to attend – preference will be given
so the family members can attend the same school the following school year
if spaces are available. Families must indicate on the Returning Student
Enrollment Form (for their current student) that a sibling wishes to attend the
following year. An enrollment application for the sibling may be submitted at
that time. ·
Siblings of
current students will not be allowed to enroll at the school during the current
year unless they are selected in a random lottery. ·
Former Community
Schoolhouse students who transfer to a different school will not be allowed
to re-enroll at the Community Schoolhouse unless they are selected in a
random lottery. The former student must re-submit an application to be included
in the lottery pool. ·
Siblings of
students who transfer to a different school will not be allowed to enroll at the
school unless they are selected in a random lottery. ·
Siblings of
graduates who completed the prior school year at the Community Schoolhouse
are allowed to enroll at the school for the following year. ·
A waiting
list/lottery pool will be maintained throughout the school year. The waiting
list is not ranked according to when applications are submitted.
All eligible applicants remain in the lottery pool for the next available
lottery drawing. Lottery drawings are conducted throughout the year as space(s)
become available.
