How the Lottery Process Works
Pathways to College K8 holds a public lottery to determine applicant acceptance in all grades where more student applications are received than seats available. Enrollment is processed by grade level. If space is available for all applicants in a particular grade level, entrants will be enrolled after the Open Enrollment deadline (April 24, 2026). Any applications received on April 25th and after will be placed on a waiting list. A lottery will be held for any grade levels that are oversubscribed (more students than seats available). Families in the lottery will be notified by email and/or text.
The public lottery for the 2026-2027 school year will be held on Friday, May 1, 2026 at 10:00 AM PST.
All new student applicants who apply between April 1st and April 24th are eligible to participate. If you are currently on the waitlist for 2025-2026, you must reapply if you wish to be considered for the 2026-2027 school year. The waitlist will not roll over.
After Open Enrollment closes on April 24, 2026, all applicants who have completed the Lottery Application will receive information about the upcoming lottery.
All applicants who are accepted will receive notification via email and/or text. Applicants will have three (3) days to accept the offer of enrollment. Lottery winners must notify the school by Thursday, May 7th, whether they accept the offer of enrollment or decline the offer of enrollment. If no communication is received, the school will automatically decline the enrollment and select the next student on the waitlist. Parents/Guardians are welcome to reapply.
If a parent/guardian does accept the offer of enrollment, they will have three (3) days to complete all enrollment, registration, and supporting documents. Birth certificates, immunization records, and parent ID must be submitted by the parent/guardian. The person registering the student must be a legal guardian (It is recommended that parents make an appointment to submit these documents).
