Enrollment FAQs

• How do I enroll my child at Casa Esperanza? 

Parents must apply to our lottery for a chance to obtain a seat. Parents must fill out an application for each charter school to which their child applies. 

• Are my child’s test scores or grades considered during the admission process? 

No. 

• If my child is on a wait list, how will I know when admission will be offered? 

You will be notified by email via Lotterease. 

• If my child is selected for admission, is he/she automatically enrolled? 

No. You will need to complete the forms in Lotterase. 

• Do I need proof of my family’s immigration status to enroll my child in a charter school?

 No.

• If my child is accepted, will they need to participate in the lottery each year? 

No. 

• If my child is not accepted, will they need to apply again for the following school year?

Yes. Each school year’s Waiting List starts anew with a fresh lottery, so that everyone has an equal chance of getting in (with the exception of siblings – see the next item).
