Enrollment Info

Suncoast Academy is open to any student who resides in the School Districts of Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte Counties. Students will be considered for admission without regard to race, religion, gender, or national or ethnic origin. A Lottery System is used during our application/open enrollment period.

The Lottery System process starts with putting all numbers of eligible applicants into a container. A non-employee, non-board personnel of Suncoast Academy draws one number out of the container at a time for the lowest grade level that there is an opening. This number is then checked against the list for siblings to allow older siblings an automatic position if room is available at that grade level. After all vacant slots have been filled at each grade level, we then continue the lottery process with the remaining numbers for applicants that brought their applications in during the appropriate time window. These applications will be the first offered a position if openings occur during the summer or school year. Any application received after the deadlines outlined above will be accepted but will not be considered until after all additional applicants from the first lottery have either filled spots or turned down openings. At that time, we will put all applicants into a lottery system again to fill openings at a grade level. It is not first come/first serve but an additional lottery for all applicants that turned in an application after the outlined timelines.
