Lottery Information For SY26-27

Student Assignment will begin sending Transfer Offers via the SchoolMint Online Application System to parents/guardians beginning February 27, 2026.

Parents will have 5 calendar days to accept or decline the transfer. If the parent/guardian declines the offered space or fails to respond within five (5) calendar days, that student will be removed from the roster, and the space will be offered to the next student of that grade level on the list until all spaces have been filled.

Yes, only the schools that received more applications than there are available spaces will have a random lottery to fill the available spaces. This means that if a school you have applied for is not listed on the list of lottery schools above, your student is likely to be offered a seat at the requested school, provided that all required services your child needs can be implemented (ex. IEP or 504) or that the school did not have a direct waitlist (shown below).

Please contact the Office of Student Assignment at 404-802-2233 or studentassignment@apsk12.org. 

No. All transfer offers are sent directly through the SchoolMint Online Application System. If assistance is needed to check the status of your application or to accept/decline a transfer offer, please contact the Office of Student Assignment at 404-802-2233 or studentassignment@apsk12.org.
