the Admissions Lottery for 2025-2026
Evergreen Community Charter School is a K-8, tuition free, public charter school whose admission is based on a lottery system.
Open Enrollment for the 2025-2026 school year will be from:
January 1st, 2025-March 31st, 2025.
Applications will be closed between March 31st and the
drawing of the lottery on April 8th.
Each year, we receive more lottery applications than our population of 444 students can support. This results in a waiting list for new students.
We do accept applications after the enrollment window, these applications will be added to the end of the waitlist for their respective grade.
*paper applications are available in the Front Office
Students who are economically disadvantaged

Income guidelines to qualify for this priority are included below. Evergreen’s Board of Directors will determine the number of open seats per grade level to be reserved in the next lottery for students whose families are economically disadvantaged.
