Overview
Any student interested in enrolling at a school with eligibility criteria must first meet requirements to qualify for enrollment. There are 10 schools with eligibility criteria: 4 schools with academic eligibility criteria, 5 schools with foreign language eligibility criteria, and 1 school with open house eligibility criteria. See the list below.
Students who rank a school with eligibility criteria on their NOLA-PS application and who met the eligibility criteria of the school by the Main Round deadline will be considered for admission at that school during the Main Round match. Students who do not meet the eligibility criteria OR do not rank a school with eligibility criteria will not be considered for admission at a school with eligibility criteria. Families will receive their Main Round school placement by April 30, 2024.
Eligibility Criteria School Waitlists
After the Main Round match, applicants who met the eligibility criteria for admission but didn't receive initial placement at the school will be placed on a waitlist. Waitlist information will be displayed in the Portal starting May 10.
Not all waitlisted students will receive a waitlist offer. Starting in June, you will receive an email if your student receives a waitlist offer. You can log into the Parent Portal to accept or decline your offer. Families must respond to waitlist offers by the expiration date and time in your offer letter or you will lose the placement opportunity. All waitlists end on September 1, 2024.
A student can be on a waitlist whether they have a school placement for the upcoming school year or not. You can complete registration at your Main Round placement school or participate in Open Enrollment and it will not change or affect your student's position on the waitlist. We recommend securing a placement and enrolling in a school with an available seat while you are on the waitlist. If you receive a waitlist offer, you can always accept that offer, which will transfer your student to that new school. Kindergarten through 12th grade is mandatory in Louisiana, so it’s best to go ahead and choose a school with an available seat so your child is ready to start the school year in August.
The only way a student is removed from the waitlist is if the parent/guardian asks for the child to be removed, if a waitlist offer is made and then expires, or if the offer is declined. If you would like to remove your student from the waitlist, please log in to the Parent Portal and submit a ticket to the Help Desk before September 1, 2024.
