Lottery
What is the Lottery?
Similar to magnet schools and other charter schools in the Clark County School District (CCSD) and in accordance to Nevada revised statute 386.580 and senate Bill no. 391, section 3, AACPA implements a lottery to select students for enrollment when there are more people who apply than there are available spaces. The lottery itself is conducted with computer software while an administrator from CCSD oversees the process.
If a lottery is necessary (it is our expectation that a lottery will be used for the 2010-2011 school year), applicants will be grouped and preferenced according to the categories outlined on the 2010-2011 student application for enrollment. Within these groups, applicants are selected randomly during the lottery. This year the lottery will be held on Wednesday, April 21, 2010 at 5:30 PM in the AACPA Multi-Purpose room. All applicants are invited to attend.
Lottery results will not be announced on April 28th. On April 28, 2010, a letter will be mailed to the address that was provided on your application notifying you of the lottery results. This letter will provide further information for you based on the outcome of the lottery. How long is the waiting list? The length of the waiting list varies because it starts over each year after the lottery. The waiting list depends on the number of people that apply and the number of student spaces that are available in each grade every year.
