Enrollment Resources

Guajome Park Academy

K-12 Enrollment

Thank you for your interest in attending Guajome Park Academy! As a California charter school, we are a tuition-free, public school that has the flexibility to be more innovative while still being held accountable for student achievement and financial responsibility. Charter schools use non-discriminatory enrollment practices. Guajome does not make any distinction on account of race, creed, color, gender, national origin, or religion of any student who seeks admission, and there are no test-in requirements to attend. 

Admission is open to California students who wish to enroll, subject to capacity.  In the event that the number of applicants exceeds the number of available openings for the academic year, a random lottery will be held for enrollment. Parents/Guardians must submit an application when the lottery window is open, September 1, 2023 - March 22, 2024, to be included in the lottery. 

Once a student is enrolled at Guajome Park Academy, they do not have to re-apply for a position the following year. Parents/Guardians will need to complete the Annual Registration process for returning students.

Lottery Drawing

Guajome Park Academy's admissions lottery for the 2024/25 school year will be held virtually via Zoom on April 3th at 9:00 a.m. This is a double-blind lottery and no student names will be displayed. Parents will receive an email with the lottery results no later than Friday, April 5th. 

*Families will receive an email notification with the lottery results within 1-2 days after the lottery. 

New applications are prioritized for selection in the random lottery in the following order:

  1. Priority List:

    • Siblings or children of alumni of Guajome Park Academy

If students with enrollment priority do not adhere to designated registration/ re-enrollment protocol and/or procedures timelines, the enrollment priority will be forfeited. 

Post Lottery

Post lottery applicants will not be included in the April 3rd lottery drawing. Late applicants will be placed at the end of the waiting list after the drawing. They will be placed in the order of submission.
