Lottery Guidelines

Registration is a preliminary step that places children into the enrollment lottery for students entering Marine Village School in Fall of each fiscal school year. The lottery for the 26/27 Fiscal Year will be held on February 6, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. Registering does not guarantee a student’s acceptance; it only ensures inclusion in the lottery.

Registration is required for all children to become students at Marine Village School.

If a student is registered during the current school year and begins attending Marine Village School immediately, that student does not participate in the lottery. Students who are currently attending have their placement guaranteed for the following school year. Registrations during the school year are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, with approximately 25 students per grade.

A lottery is held for any grade that receives more than 25 applications for the following school year. During the lottery, students with new registrations are randomly selected for the final enrollment spots. The lottery begins with fifth grade and proceeds downward through the remaining grades. If a selected student has siblings applying for other grades, those siblings are automatically enrolled at the same time. Marine Village School maintains a limit of 25 students per grade.

For any grade with fewer than 25 students after the lottery, registration and enrollment for the 2026–2027 school year will continue on a first-come, first-served basis until the grade is full. Once full, additional students will be placed on a waiting list.

For more information, please refer to the Application and Enrollment Policy.
