Open Enrollment

Open enrollment is designed to give all interested parents equal opportunity for their student to attend Queen’s Grant High School. During open enrollment, all applications get equal consideration regardless of date submitted. An application received on the last day of open enrollment receives equal treatment to one received on the first day of open enrollment. Open enrollment for the next school year always ends on the last business day in February.

Open Enrollment ends on the last business day of February at 5:00 p.m. Applications must be complete and received by the school office prior to the end of the school day. Following the close of open enrollment, if the number of applications exceeds the number of open seats, a random selection lottery determines acceptance. If the number of applications does not exceed the number of open seats, all applicants are accepted for their respective grade.

Lottery

A lottery will be held for any grade in which the number of applications exceeds the number of openings. Names are randomly selected and applicants are accepted based on the order in which they are selected. The lottery continues until all names are drawn. Applicants who are not accepted will be placed on a waiting list in the order their names were selected. Applications received after Open Enrollment are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis for any remaining openings or placed on a waiting list.

If your student is Accepted:

If accepted, you will receive an Acceptance Notification. Parents must submit to the school all Admissions/Enrollment Items by the date specified in the notification. If these are not received by that date, your child may be removed from the school Accepted List.

If your student is on a Waiting List:

You will be notified of acceptance by email or phone if an opening becomes available for your student.

Sibling Preference

In order to accommodate parents who have more than one child eligible for enrollment, siblings of currently enrolled K-11th grade students are given preference over students who do not have siblings who have been accepted or enrolled in Queen’s Grant. Siblings will be offered the first available seat in their respective grade or placed on a waiting list with sibling preference.

Sibling preference is defined as children who have at least one common parent/legal guardian AND are living in the same household at least 50% of the time.

Waiting List

It is not unusual for a small percentage of accepted students to select other options prior to the start of school. Openings created by opt-outs are filled by those on waiting lists. Do not become discouraged if your child is put on a waiting list. Openings can and do become available.

“I am truly grateful to Queen’s Grant High School for the many amazing opportunities that it has provided me with over the past 4 years. From the classroom dynamic of a small class size and hands-on teachers, to the countless extra-curricular activities that are offered, my high school experience was definitely one to remember. Honors and AP classes allowed me to excel in the classroom environment and Varsity Soccer has allowed me to put my talents to use on the field. Queen’s Grant is a wonderful atmosphere to learn and make friends at and I am honored to have called this campus my high school.” K. Delaney (Class of 2015)
