91福利导航 High has four academies, each with its own theme: Citizenship, Discovery Innovation and Leadership. These physically smaller learning environments are designed to help students feel connected, involved and engaged. Students are assigned to each academy through a lottery they are encouraged to enter.
The application asks students to decide which academy they would prefer to attend by ranking their first, second, third and fourth choices.
Enrollment in each academy is capped to help balance the student body across the four academies.
For each academy, the lottery will randomly select 175 students who listed that academy as their first choice on the application. Remaining seats available in that academy then will be randomly filled with students who selected it as their second, third or fourth choice.
Students who do not enter the lottery by the application deadline are assigned randomly across the four academies.
