How can I enroll my student in uncommon schools?

In the admission process for each school, students are selected through a random lottery system. This method ensures that the selection process is fair and impartial. According to legislation enacted in 2007, all charter schools in New York City are required to prioritize applicants who reside within the school district where the charter school is situated. This means that students living in the immediate area have a better chance of being admitted to the school of their choice.

However, it is important to note that students who live outside of the designated school district are still welcome to apply. These out-of-district applicants may be considered for admission, provided that there is available space within the school. This policy allows for a more inclusive approach, giving students from various areas the opportunity to attend these charter schools, should circumstances permit.
