Lottery Admissions
KIPP SoCal Public Schools are open to all, and there are no requirements to apply. In order to ensure our process is fair, our application only requests the bare minimum information required to hold a public lottery: student age/grade, contact information, and schools interested in.
If the number of applications exceeds the number of available seats in any given grade, we will host a public, random lottery in order to determine which students are accepted. We do give priority to certain categories of students, as detailed below.
Standard School Priority
- Siblings of currently enrolled students living within School District boundaries
- Siblings of currently enrolled students living outside School District boundaries
- Children of KIPP SoCal Employees living within School District boundaries
- Children of KIPP SoCal Employees living outside School District boundaries
- All other applicants living within School District boundaries
- All other applicants living outside School District boundaries
Middle School Feeder Priority
- Siblings of currently enrolled students living within School District boundaries
- Siblings of currently enrolled students living outside School District boundaries
- Children of KIPP SoCal Employees living within School District boundaries
- Children of KIPP SoCal Employees living outside School District boundaries
- Students of the KIPP elementary feeder school living within School District
- Students of the KIPP elementary feeder school living outside School District
- All other applicants living within School District boundaries
- All other applicants living outside School District boundaries
Waitlists are dynamic! If a student is called off any of our waitlists and accepts the space, and if that student has a sibling on the waitlist, the sibling is moved to the top of the waitlist with other siblings in the order of their general lottery number. We put siblings ahead of any non-sibling waitlisted student.
For students waitlisted during the lottery, student names will be added to a waitlist in order of the lottery number they received. Any applications received after the open enrollment deadline of February 7, 2025 will be added to the waitlist in order of submission date & time.
