Enrollment, Lottery and Registration Policy

Open Enrollment period (School Year 2023-2024)

Eagle Nevada’s Early enrollment period runs from 12/1/22 – 2/1/23. A lottery will be held after the Open Enrollment period if the number of student enrollments exceeds space available. Families will be notified via email or phone of their child’s acceptance into Eagle Charter
Schools. Beginning February 2 nd , 2023, enrolling students will fill remaining space on a first-come, first-served basis. If the grade level is already at capacity, students will be placed on an ordered waiting list.


Enrollment Priority

In accordance with our mission, Eagle’s incoming students will receive enrollment priority as
ordered below. Each category is a “bucket” that must be empty before enrolling students from the next preference category.

1) Pupils that are siblings of currently enrolled students

2) Pupils that are children of currently employed Eagle staff

3) Pupils that are children of Governing Board members

4) Pupils who are homeless

5) Pupils whose most recent enrollment was in a public school which received an annual rating established as one of the two lowest ratings possible indicating underperformance at the elementary, middle or high school level pursuant to the statewide system of accountability for public schools.

6) Pupils in Clark County

7) Pupils in Nevada


If Eagle Charter Schools has sufficient capacity to enroll all students in a priority category, no lottery is needed for that category. If the school only has enough open seats to enroll some of the students in a particular priority category, then all students in that category are subject to a lottery. The lottery is run on a grade level basis beginning with the lowest grade with available seats. If open enrollment is not active, students will be placed at the bottom of their prioritized category on the waiting list.


Age Eligibility

State law requires that a student entering Kindergarten must be 5 years old by September 30th. A first-grader must be 6 years old by September 30th.  NRS 392.040 (2)(5).
