Enroll at Democracy Prep Nevada

To apply the parent/ guardian must be a resident of the state of Nevada. Kindergarten scholars must be 5 by the first day of school (8/15). Please only apply once per scholar additional applications will be canceled.

We are thrilled that so many families have shown interest in coming to Democracy Prep. Because we have so many interested applicants the admission process required by charter law states that a lottery must be held if there are more student applications to a charter school than seats available. When a family applies for a seat at Democracy Prep Public Schools their application gets submitted into our applicant pool and lottery randomly draws from all applicants for admission.

These state-approved guidelines establish the following enrollment priorities and allowances (listed in order of priority):

1. Applicants with siblings* attending DPAC during the 2023-2024 school year
2. Applicants economically disadvantaged living within or living beyond a two-mile radius of DPAC
3. Applicants living within a two-mile radius of DPAC
4. Applicants who are a child of a DPAC employee or board member
5. All remaining applicants

After the lottery is held scholars not initially drawn from the lottery are placed on the waitlist. When a seat becomes available at a school a family will be called in the order of the school’s waitlist. Our waitlist is based on the same preference criteria as our lottery. Our waitlist is constantly moving as families make the decision to admit their scholar into our schools, the siblings of newly admitted scholars advance within the waitlist. Not to mention, families can apply at any point during the enrollment season. If your scholar is not selected from the waitlist, unfortunately, the application does not “roll over” and you would have to reapply for the following school year.
