Frequently Asked Questions
Please contact your school directly or email us at enrollment@kippsocal.org
After the lottery occurs during the first weekend of February, families will be notified via phone, mail, and/or email. There is no lottery event that parents must attend. On your application, please double-check your child’s birthday and the grade they will enter for the next school year, and the correct contact information. The contact information on the application will be used to inform you of your offer status.
If the number of children interested in a specific grade at a KIPP school exceeds the number of seats available for that grade, names are drawn through a random, automated lottery process. If there are not enough open seats available, children will be placed on a waitlist. If and when seats become available at each KIPP school, we will notify families in the order of the waitlist. We will be making offers off the waitlist on a daily basis as seats become available.
We are here to help every step of the way! Log in to your SchoolMint account to find your offer status and see the steps needed to register. If you still need help, please contact us at enrollment@kippsocal.org
