How admission works
From the school’s lottery and waitlist page:
- Space is limited, so seats are awarded by lottery, with preference for siblings of current students.
- Families who want a seat for the next school year complete pre-enrollment during open registration, held in December.
- Names are drawn at random starting the second week of March, and parents are notified after the lottery. Applicants not drawn go on a waitlist.
Enrollment and teachers
- District count: 1,113 students on Aug. 21, 2026, the 10th day of the 2026-27 school year, 831 in kindergarten to grade 5 and 282 in grades 6 to 8. That is two more than on the same day in 2025, according to the district’s Tenth Day Enrollment Count.
- Federal count: 1,061 students in the 2023-24 school year, with 54 full-time-equivalent teachers, according to the NCES directory. That works out to about 20 students per teacher.
State report card

A school’s grade is the share of possible points it earns on state test results and learning gains in English and math, science and social studies results and, for grades 6 to 8, a middle school acceleration measure. The state’s 2026 file sets an A for a combination school like this one at 65% of points or more.
| School year | Grade |
|---|---|
| 2025-26 | A (73% of possible points) |
| 2024-25 | A |
| 2023-24 | A |
From the state’s 2026 school grades file, the share of students scoring on grade level on the state tests in 2025-26:
- English language arts: 80%
- Math: 81%
- Science: 68%
- Social studies: 88%
