A lottery was held on March 3, 2025 to select students for our schools and programs of Choice that require an application. This includes:
- Big Picture Schools
- CHOICE Academy
- Highline Virtual Academy
- Maritime High School
- Puget Sound Skills Center
- Raisbeck Aviation High School
- Tyee Health Sciences Program
- The International Baccalaureate Programme at Mount Rainier High School
- Innovation Heights Academy
When there are more applicants than can be admitted, students are selected by lottery from the pool of eligible candidates. To be eligible, students submitted an application by January 31.
The admissions process is designed to accommodate the growing number of applications while maintaining each school or program's educational quality.
If you are selected in the lottery, please confirm your acceptance by April 4, 2025.
Your seat will be offered to another student on the waitlist if you fail to confirm your intent and schedule your meeting by the deadline. Students will be pulled from the waitlist following spring break starting April 14, 2025.
See the list of students selected starting in the 2025-26 school year. This list includes students who are waitlisted in the order their names were drawn in the lottery. This list is not updated as students are pulled from the waitlist. Please contact your school if you have any questions.
