Milwaukee College Preparatory School’s admissions process:

• Applications will be distributed and accepted from March 1st through March 31st. Please come to the school’s main office to pick up and return the application form.
• After the March 31st registration deadline, if the number of complete applications (complete = registration form, family pledge, and immunization records and birth certificate for K4 and K5) exceeds the number of seats available, a drawing will be held to fill the slots.
• There will be absolutely no prescreening of applications to review academic, social performance or special educational issues.
• Applications will be randomly assigned a number, and then numbers will be drawn from a container to determine placement order, beginning with K4.
• Siblings of currently enrolled students will be given first preference.
• If a number is drawn of an applicant who has older siblings also applying, the older siblings will get immediately placed in their respective grade/s if room permits.
• Drawing will continue until all seats are filled and waiting list order is determined.
• The selection meeting will be open to the public.
• Letters will be sent to all applicants immediately thereafter informing them of their acceptance or their number on waiting list.
• Applications will be accepted after March 31st on a first come first serve basis and either added to the waiting list or assigned an open seat if it exists.
• Waiting lists will not be carried over from year to year.

In each of the past three years we have had waiting lists in excess of 175 students.

We fully comply with all laws pertaining to charter schools in regards to students with special needs. We will hire a full-time staff member to provide support services for students with special needs. Our goal is to mainstream as much as possible, with pull-out support as needed conducted by our support staff.
