Admission Policy and Enrollment Application
Admission Policy: Admission is based on a computer-generated “lottery” selection process. Students will select their top 3 choices & will be given a weighted ranking order during the lottery process as determined through Board Policy, which is listed on the FWISD program of choice website. Students not selected to their first choice will be placed on a waiting list for their first choice. If applicants to these programs are not identified as eligible through the screening process, they will be placed on the waiting list for their second choice if not assigned to their second choice, and so on until all three choices have been exhausted.
