Student Lottery Process/Open Seats

KIPP Jacksonville has an admissions process that opens each year in the Fall, and lottery results are made public in the Spring. After the lottery is run, applicants will be notified of their offer or waitlist status via text, email, and mail. *If the lottery date has passed, we accept applications in the order of their waitlist number – if there is no waitlist for a particular grade/campus, students are accepted on a first-come, first serve basis. 

 Q: Why does KIPP have a Lottery?
A: Lotteries are held to randomly select students to fill spots for the upcoming school year. 

Q: When is the Lottery? How is it conducted?
A: During the lottery, names will be selected at random, by grade, with spots offered in the order of names selected. When the capacity for each grade level is reached, the remaining applications will be assigned a position on our waiting list in a randomized order. Only applications completed before the deadline will participate in the Lottery. Applications submitted after the Lottery are granted seats or added to the wait list in order of the date and time of their application. 

Q: How are Lottery results verified as random?
A: KIPP utilizes SchoolMint, an automated enrollment software system that is fair, transparent, and complies with data privacy regulations.  

Q: Is anyone given preference in the Lottery?
A: Yes. KIPP give preference to the following individuals:

      • Siblings of KIPP students.  
      • Children of KIPP employees.  
      • Existing students or transfers. 

A: Yes. KIPP Jax provides preference to the following individuals

      Military Families
      Employee Students
      Siblings of Current KIPPsters
      Siblings who apply together as siblings
      Students who live in targeted zip codes

Q: How am I notified of Lottery results?
A: On the day of the Lottery, families with an offer from a KIPP campus will receive a notification of their status via the preferred method of communication indicated on their application (email and/or text). All families can also see their offer status by logging into SchoolMint on Lottery Day. An initial round of offers will be sent on Lottery Day, but offers will continue being sent if seats become available. Families will also receive a follow-up call from their campus within a few days of receiving an offer.

Q: I have a question about my notification. Who can I contact before taking action on my notification?
A: After the date of the Lottery, parents can direct any questions to our enrollment team. Could you send an email to info @ kippjax.org?

Q: If my child is not chosen during the Lottery and is placed on the waitlist, what are the chances that they will be accepted later?
A: If a student is not admitted immediately during the Lottery, they are automatically placed on the waitlist. Throughout the spring and summer months, spots may become available. Enrollment is offered to the next student on the waitlist as soon as we have notice of withdrawal. If a parent declines an offer, we move to the next student on the waitlist until the seat is filled. 

Q: If my child is accepted at the Lottery, can I transfer to another KIPP school?
A: You must complete an application in SchoolMint indicating your new school preference for the following school year. Please get in touch with your current campus if you are interested in completing a transfer.
