How admission works
From the school’s enrollment page:
- Applications are accepted year-round through the online enrollment system.
- Open enrollment for the 2026-27 school year ran Nov. 3 to Dec. 5, 2025, and lottery results were published Dec. 12, 2025. Every application made during open enrollment had the same chance, whether it came in on the first day or the last.
- If a grade has more applications than seats, a computer-generated random lottery decides who is offered a seat. Results go by email and to the family’s online dashboard.
- Current students keep their seat for the next grade without reapplying, according to the school’s enrollment questions page.
Enrollment
- District count: 1,556 students on Aug. 21, 2026, the 10th day of the 2026-27 school year, 1,104 in kindergarten to grade 5 and 452 in grades 6 to 8. That is 39 more than on the same day in 2025, according to the district’s Tenth Day Enrollment Count.
- Federal count: 1,519 students in the 2023-24 school year, according to the NCES directory, which does not report a teacher count for the school.

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 | B (64% of possible points) |
| 2024-25 | A |
| 2023-24 | A |
