KIPP DC schools are free, open enrollment, public schools for District of Columbia children who meet our age requirements. Open enrollment for the 2012-2013 school year begins January 2012 and closes on March 30, 2012. If the number of applications exceeds the number of spaces available, a lottery is held to determine the order in which students are offered seats. Per the District of Columbia School Reform Act, siblings of current KIPP DC students receive preference in the lottery should they apply during the open enrollment period. Students applying after April 2013 will be added to the wait list on a first-come first-served basis.
