We do not determine acceptance based on grades, test scores or attendance records. We select our students via a lottery system. Students who have siblings currently enrolled at OCS and students living in District 3 will have preference for admittance. Half of each grade will have students with special education services and half with general education services. Transfer high school students are required to hand in a transcript before they are accepted into OCS, allowing us to ensure students are applying for the grade that corresponds with the amount of credits earned thus far. All other applications submitted by the deadline will be entered into a lottery. Late applications will be added to a waitlist in the order they are received.

Take a Shot at Winning the LOTTERY!

Applicants are allowed one ticket for the lottery. The lottery will be held in a public forum on Monday, April 8, 2013. Attendance at the lottery is not mandatory and will not impact your child’s chance of being admitted. During the lottery, student names are drawn one at a time and listed in the order pulled. After the lottery is completed, OCS will inform families by a phone call and a letter in the mail. Families then have seven business days to come into OCS to fill out registration paperwork and submit appropriate documents.

If your child is not selected form the Lottery for an open seat on April 8, 2013, he or she will be placed on a waiting list for future openings. You will be informed of your child’s waitlist number through a letter in the mail and if taken off the waitlist, a phone call will be made to the numbers listed on the application. Make sure to inform OCS if your phone number or address changes.
