North River Charter Academy (NRCA) foresees a strong possibility that there may be a surplus of student applications for some grade levels, higher than the school’s capacity. Therefore, NRCA will open Enrollment Periods commencing December 1, 2024, and will continue through the schools' opening based on available student seats. The NRCA Board of Directors can approve extending the application deadline if seats are still available at the end of the scheduled Enrollment Periods.
If the number of applications received is more than the seats available, a random lottery will be held. The date of the Lottery will be published on the school website as well as distributed in mailings to parents of students placed in the Lottery process. A waiting list of students will then be established after the lottery.
Each student will have an equal opportunity to be selected through the random selection process in accordance with Florida Statute 1002.33, subsection (10), article (d).
North River Charter Academy may give enrollment preference to the following student populations based on the following applicable conditions:
1. Students who are siblings of a student enrolled in the charter school.
2. Students who are the children of a member of the governing board of the charter school.
3. Students who are the children of an employee of the charter school.
4. Students who have successfully completed a voluntary prekindergarten education program provided by the charter school or the charter school’s governing board during the previous year.
5. Students who are the children of an active-duty member of any branch of the United States Armed Forces.
