Enrollment Lottery Information
A lottery will be held at Eagle Ridge Academy at 1:15 p.m. on Wednesday, January 22, 2025. All applications submitted during the open enrollment period (October 1, 2024 – January 15, 2025) will be included in this lottery.
All applications received at or after 12:00 a.m. on. January 16, 2025, will not be included in the lottery. They will be added to the grade-level waitlist in the order that they are received.
If your child has been selected by the lottery:
- You will receive an enrollment email in early February with the information needed to enroll your child.
- You will have until February 11 to accept or decline the offered spot.
- Siblings of a selected child will be moved to the bottom of the sibling waitlist after the spot has been accepted and all enrollment paperwork has been submitted.
If your child receives a wait list number:
- Your child will remain on the grade-level waitlist until a spot comes available.
- As spots are declined, children on grade-level waitlists will move up accordingly. That continues right up until the start of school in August.
- We continue to fill open spots after the school year begins using our grade level wait lists.
