Lottery Update

Students must reside within the LWSD's boundaries by the lottery deadline to be eligible for participation in the lottery.

RSAR offers a rigorous curriculum with a focus on visual and performing arts. We empower students to express themselves artistically, think critically, and develop strong social-emotional intelligence. More information if RSAR is the right choice, can be found HERE.

After the lottery is held at the district office, each student will be assigned a number at each choice school applied for. Families will be notified on January 16, 2025, for the 2026-2027 lottery for acceptance or waitlist. Acceptance is due from families on January 30th, 2026. Those students put on the waitlist will be notified as spots become available. Families on the waitlist will be contacted via email and will have 24 hours to accept or decline. If there is no response within 24 hours, the student will be removed from the waitlist, and the next number will be called. Please be sure to check your spam folder. If you applied to multiple choice schools and accept a spot, your student will be removed from all other choice school waitlists.

The waitlist for the 2025-2026 school year is closed. We are currently working through the waitlist for the 2026-2027 year.

The next opportunity to sign up for the lottery will be November 2026 for the 27-28 school year.

A school tour and information night was held in October 2025 prior to the lottery opening. School tours and teacher meetings are not available at this time. We will have a welcome event for incoming students in the spring. 

After families are notified of initial placement offers as of January 16th, 2026, a response is due no later than January 30th, 2026 by 4:00 pm.

After the initial January 30th deadline, families who received an offer, but did not respond to accept/decline placement, will be removed from the list and we will extend offers to students on the waitlist. Waitlisted families will have 24 hours to accept or decline the offer once it is issued.
