The school verifies each applicant’s eligibility for admission to school. Parents must provide evidence of residence at the time of admission. Proof of residence includes the legal home address of the parent or guardian and/or other appropriate documentation.

If there are more applicants than available spaces, the students are selected by a lottery drawing. The school allows any student who was enrolled in the school in the immediately preceding school year to enroll in the charter school in the appropriate grade.

 The school also gives enrollment priority to a sibling of a student enrolled in the charter school. Students from other school districts may attend the Compass Academy Charter School provided there are unfilled spaces at the scheduled lottery date.
