ENROLLMENT BY PUBLIC RANDOM DRAWING

Under California state law, enrollment to LFCSA is governed by a Public Random Drawing (PRD). In early Spring, LFCSA conducts its PRD for admission to the school for the following academic year. In order to be part of the PRD, a family must complete the short PRD application form and timely submit it to the school. Each completed application will be assigned a number, and during the PRD, numbers will be drawn at random.

There are two kindergarten classes beginning every fall of 20 students each; thus, there are potentially 40 spaces available for admission. If there are any spaces available in the grades above kindergarten, then the PRD will also determine admission to those grade levels. At the PRD, the numbers drawn at random are recorded, and the first 40 numbers (approximately) drawn are the children who will be admitted into the school for kindergarten.

Typically, LFCSA receives applications in excess of the number of spaces available. Those students who do not get picked in the PRD for the approximately 40 kindergarten spaces will be placed on a waiting list.
