3. Accept your seat within three days if offered.

Understanding the Lottery
LISA Academy holds an annual, random public lottery to assign available seats. Applications received after the lottery are added to the waitlist in the order submitted. Priority is given to siblings of enrolled students and staff children.
Waitlist and Applications After the Lottery
Students who do not receive a seat during the lottery are placed on a waitlist. As openings become available, families are notified in order of their waitlist number.
Registration Requirements
Once a seat is offered, families must complete online registration forms and submit required documents by the stated deadline, including proof of Arkansas residency, student's birth certificate and social security number (if available), and immunization records.
