Enrolling at Northeast College Prep
Top 3 Things to Know for Enrollment at Northeast College Prep
-
Apply Early
- Submit your application before the end of January for the best chance of securing a spot.
-
Lottery System
- If applications exceed available spots, a lottery will be held. Unselected students go on a waitlist.
-
Notification and Waitlist
- Families will be notified of the lottery outcome. Notify us if you decide to decline your spot, so the next student on the waitlist can be offered a place.
Admission to Northeast College Prep Elementary and Middle School
Every year at the end of January, Northeast College Prep will look at the applications we have received for each grade for the upcoming school year.
-
- If the number of applications received is fewer than the number of spots available, then all students will secure a spot in the school for the following school year.
-
- If the number of applications received exceeds the number of spots available in any grade, we will then hold a lottery.
The lottery will determine which students receive the available spots. Students who are not chosen in the lottery will then move to the waiting list. All students’ families will be notified in a timely manner of the outcome of the lottery. Your best chances of getting in are to apply before the lottery date. After that, spots are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. If you later decide you do not want the spot, please let us know, and the first person on the waitlist will be notified of the opening.
We realize this can be a confusing process. If you have any questions about this process, please do not hesitate to contact the school at (612)-248-8240.
General Admission Procedures:
(1) Order of Admission:
- Siblings of Already Admitted Students or Foster Children of the Parents/Guardians of Already Admitted Students
- Children/Foster Children of Staff Employed at the School (working at least 480 hours per school year)
- General Admissions.
(2) No waiting list carry over from year to year: Each waiting list is subject to a lottery and redrawn during each admission process each year.
(3) Multiple births (twins, triplets, etc): Each student seeking admission completes a separate application (i.e. not one application for the family). In a lottery situation, each student receives an individual number/lot in the lottery.
(4) Lottery Grade Order: Applicable lotteries occur from highest grade to lowest grade. For example, if a lottery is required in grades Kindergarten and 3, the grade 3 lottery is conducted first, followed by the Kindergarten lottery.
