How does the lottery and wait list work?
Each school year we use a lottery system for enrollment of new students in VPK through 5th grade. We have an Open Enrollment period where families new to OACS can be placed on the lottery list for the upcoming school year. The following priority order is used in the lottery: Oakland resident siblings, Oakland residents, Non-Oakland OACS siblings, Town of Oakland employees, Non-Oakland Orange/Lake County residents, and other Florida residents.
The lottery is held in March and by the end of March all families will be contacted via email with the results. Children in the lottery will either be offered an enrollment opportunity or issued a wait list number. Our wait list stays active throughout the school year and does not roll over from year to year. After the lottery window closes you may complete the wait list application above to be placed on the wait list.
Based on past enrollment trends, we anticipate having the following seats available per grade level at the time of the lottery:
40 in VPK, 50 in Kindergarten, and in Grades 1 through 5, 1 to 3 seats per grade level. Current school capacity is 566 students (VPK-5th).
Lottery and enrollment questions should be directed to our registrar, Donna Bailey, or at 407-877-2039 ext. 2501.
