Lottery Information
Pathway Academy accepts enrollment applications throughout the enrollment period. If the number of eligible applicants exceeds the number of available seats in a grade level, a random lottery will be conducted in accordance with Texas Education Code and the school's charter requirements.
How the Lottery Works
-
Each eligible applicant receives an equal opportunity for selection.
-
The lottery is conducted using a random selection process.
-
Applications received during the open enrollment period are included in the lottery for that grade level if demand exceeds available seats.
-
Families will be notified of the lottery date, time, and procedures if a lottery becomes necessary.
Waitlist Information
Applicants not selected through the lottery will be placed on a waitlist in the order determined by the lottery process. As seats become available, students will be offered admission from the waitlist.
Sibling Preference
Pathway Academy may provide enrollment preference for siblings of currently enrolled students, as permitted by state law and the school's charter. Any applicable preferences will be applied before conducting the lottery.
Notification of Results
Families will be notified of lottery results and offered enrollment opportunities as seats become available.
