Lottery Details

If the number of applications received exceeds the number of spots available, we will run a lottery at the school on April 11th at 6pm. Explore Charter school gives the following admissions preferences:

1. Siblings of currently enrolled students receive first preference in our lottery. In order to qualify for the sibling preference, families must meet one of the following: 1) Siblings that reside in the same home under the supervision of the same parent(s) or legal guardian(s). 2) Children that reside in the same household that have the same legal caregiver. Legal proof of guardianship and residence is required by the application deadline for both instances.

2. Students who reside in Community School District 17 receive second preference in our lottery. If you do not know what Community School District you live in you can call 311 or visit http://gis.nyc.gov/dcp/at/f1.jsp.

If your child is accepted to Explore Charter School, adequate proof of residence will be required upon enrollment. Failure to provide adequate proof of residence may result in your child's seat being revoked.
