Admission Lottery Process

The law states “If the number of applicants for enrollment in an eligible school under a choice scholarship exceeds the number of choice scholarships available to the eligible school, the eligible school must draw at random in a public meeting the applications of applicants who are entitled to a choice scholarship from among the applicants who meet the requirements for admission to the eligible school.” 

Students will be enrolled at St. Anthony School on a priority basis of siblings of current students, parishioners, Catholic non-parishioners, non-Catholics until capacity for the grade is reached. In the event that the number of new students qualifying for voucher assistance and seeking admission to a given grade due to capacity requirements exceeds the capacity of that incoming class, a public, random lottery will be held prior to May 1 of the new school year. Those not selected will join a waiting list. The lottery process will follow guidance from the DOE.
