Pre-K & Elementary Options & Transfers Application Data School Year 2022-23

The APS Welcome Center facilitated the lottery for Elementary Option Schools/Programs on April 22, 2022 and Pre-K Programs on April 29, 2022. Families were notified via email and/or text message of their status shortly after each lottery. Students who applied, but were not accepted through the lottery process, were placed in numerical order on a waitlist. Applications received after the deadline are placed at the bottom of the existing waitlist for the upcoming school year.

The data below is as of June 14, 2022.

Additional information is available on the How to Apply page. For any questions or additional information requests, please call 703-228-8000 (selection option 3) or email schooloptions@apsva.us.
