Lottery Procedure
If demand exceeds open seats, a blind lottery is held one week after the application deadline. Student test scores, grades, or special needs are not used in any way as part of the admissions process or lottery. The lottery is open to the public and conducted by drawing participants’ names from a rolling bin. Enrollment is offered to the first names drawn, until all enrollment spots are filled. Waitlist numbers are assigned in the same manner until all names have been pulled from the bin. Any applications received incomplete or after the deadline are added to the end of the waitlist in the order they were received.
Admission Process for Transfer Students
We are no longer offering enrollment for prospective 10th, 11th, and 12th grade students. Families interested in being added to the waitlist for future openings, please complete the waitlist interest form.
The admission process is different for current high school students interested in transferring to a Noble campus. Students are placed on a waitlist according to the date they contact us. Campuses might offer enrollment at the beginning of each semester depending on whether they have space available. If a student’s name comes to the top of a campus’ waitlist, the campus will contact them at the phone number or address provided.
If you are an elementary school principal or a guidance counselor interested in learning about the Noble campuses, please contact Jessica Flores, Director of Enrollment, via email jflores@noblenetwork.org or by phone at 773.278.6895
