How admission works

The school’s charter school FAQs say a charter school is open to any student who lives in Alabama and may not charge tuition. Parents or guardians complete an application during the designated application period. If applications exceed the seats available, the school uses a lottery with random selection and may place remaining students on a waiting list. Siblings of current students and children of board members and staff get a weighted preference. Once enrolled, students are guaranteed a seat in the next grade, the FAQs say, unless the family releases the seat, does not complete the Intent to Return form or there are grounds for dismissal.
