Any student who is interested in enrolling at a school with eligibility criteria must first meet requirements to qualify for enrollment. There are 10 schools with eligibility criteria: 4 schools with academic eligibility criteria, 5 schools with foreign language eligibility criteria, and 1 school with open house eligibility criteria. Information on spring testing (if applicable) and summer Open Enrollment will be posted here, please check back regularly for more details. See the list below for school-specific information on availability following Main Round.
Students who ranked a school with eligibility criteria on their NOLA-PS application and who met the eligibility criteria of the school by the deadline were considered for admission at that school during the Main Round match. Students who did not meet the eligibility criteria OR did not rank a school with eligibility criteria were not considered for admission at a school with eligibility criteria.
Eligible students who were not assigned a seat during Main Round will be added to the waitlist. Please note Waitlist information will be displayed in the Parent Portal on or before April 10.
After the Main Round match, applicants who met the eligibility criteria for admission but didn't receive initial placement at the school will be placed on a waitlist. Waitlist information is displayed in the Parent Portal under the Waitlist tab. Please note Waitlist information will be displayed in the Portal on or before April 10.
Not all waitlisted students will receive a waitlist offer. Beginning after May 14, if your student receives a waitlist offer, you will receive an email and a text message (if you have opted into texting, to sign up for text alerts, text START to 1-844-596-4144). You can log into the Parent Portal to accept or decline your offer. Families must respond to waitlist offers by the expiration date and time in your offer email or you will lose the placement opportunity. All waitlists end on September 1, 2025.
A student can be on a waitlist whether they have a school placement for the upcoming school year or not. You can complete registration at your Main Round placement school or participate in Open Enrollment and it will not change or affect your student's position on the waitlist. We recommend securing a placement and enrolling in a school with an available seat while you are on the waitlist. If you receive a waitlist offer, you can always accept that offer, which will transfer your student to that new school. Kindergarten through 12th grade is mandatory in Louisiana, so it’s best to choose a school with an available seat so your child is ready to start the school year in August.
There are three ways a student can be removed from a waitlist: if a waitlist offer is made and then expires, if a waitlist offer is declined, or if the parent/guardian asks enrollment to remove the student from the waitlist. If you would like to remove your student from a waitlist, please log in to the Parent Portal and submit a ticket to the Help Desk using the topic Waitlist Position Question before September 1.
