Admissions and Lottery Process
Carolina Achieve is open to all students who qualify for North Carolina Public Schools. As part of our commitment to fairness, a weighted lottery reserves 20% of seats in each grade for students who qualify for Free and Reduced Lunch, ensuring our student population reflects the diverse economic spectrum of Alamance, Orange, and Durham Counties. Results from the lottery will be shared promptly, with admitted families receiving email notifications and placement on a waitlist for others. Returning students are guaranteed enrollment, while new families are encouraged to explore our Admissions and Enrollment Policy for detailed information on deadlines and processes.
At Carolina Achieve, we’re eager to show off our new school, introduce you to our family, and answer your questions. Please let us know your preferred day & time for a school visit, and we will follow up to schedule your tour.
