Enrollment FAQ

Lottery Process

  1.  During the first quarter of each calendar year, current students are asked to complete the Re-Enrollment Process. This done by declaring their intention to remain at RA for the following year. When this process is complete, any open positions will be filled through the lottery process, which is conducted in late February or early March.
  2.  Interested families should apply online (see link above) during the lottery registration period, from January through the running of the Enrollment Lottery. Enrollment is open to students without discrimination based on race, color, gender, disability, or national origin.
  3.  Interested families should also make sure schedule a Tour of the School prior to the Enrollment Lottery being run. Deadline extensions will not be given to accommodate School Tours.
  4.  When students are extended an Offer of Enrollment through the lottery, their families are contacted by email. This process is automated, please ensure that the “renacademy.org” domain is White Listed or set as a Safer Sender to help mitigate filtering of the email to “junk mail” folder
  5.  Families are given a specific timeframe to respond with acceptance or refusal of the Offer of Enrollment and then another specific timeframe to submit all registration paperwork, including all required documents. Failure to accept or submit the paperwork within the timeframe given will result in the position being forfeit and offered to the next student on the list.
  6. During the Enrollment Lottery, Renaissance Academy fills all open positions in a grade level from those student applicants in the Enrollment Lottery system at that time. Once completed, the remaining students in the system will be placed on a wait list and the families will be contacted if an opening occurs.

Interested families are invited explore this website and then, if there are any further questions, our friendly staff are available to answer any questions. Official tours will take place by appointment, starting in January once the lottery registration process has begun. Renaissance Academy will make a good faith effort to answer any questions regarding charter schools in general and information about Renaissance Academy.

If you have a Kindergartener or 7th grader who has been accepted at Renaissance, please visit the Registration page to see the extra paperwork required for enrollment.

Lottery Rules

Those interested in applying may fill out an application online during our lottery registration period (January through end of February).

If the number of applications exceeds the capacity of a program, class, grade level, or the school, students shall be selected on a random basis through an enrollment lottery. Students not offered a position will be placed on a wait list and they will be offered a position if/when one opens up for their grade. Siblings of students who have accepted a position will be placed a priority sibling wait list and they’ll receive “sibling preference”. However, the sibling offered the position must meet all deadlines and registration requirements for the “sibling preference” to remain in effect.

If a family is offered placement and declines, they will need to re-enroll and enter the lottery for the following school year if they would like to be admitted after declining. All applicants who are not offered positions at the school will need to re-enter the lottery for enrollment opportunities in subsequent years.

We make every attempt to contact families to inform them of an open position, but it is the responsibility of the families who remain interested to make the effort to ensure their contact information is current.

Returning Families

All current Renaissance Academy families will need to complete the re-enrollment process within the Enrollment Lottery System for the upcoming school year.

Completing the re-enrollment process you will ensure that your student’s position is not relinquished and offered to a new student applicant when we run the enrollment lottery in March. The re-enrollment window is January through the end of February.
