How admission works
The school’s admissions page takes applications online and lists Controlled Open Enrollment for students from other counties. Florida law says that when a charter school gets more applications than it has seats, all applicants must have an equal chance through a random selection process, and it lets schools give preference to groups such as siblings of current students (section 1002.33, Florida Statutes). Students who are not admitted keep their zoned district high school; check it on the district’s Find My School map.
