Achievement First Public Charter Schools: Automating the Student Lottery Process for 41 Schools

Location: Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New York
Website: Main Website
Enrollment: 15,000+
Size: 41 schools

The Challenge

With a network of 41 schools across three different states, Achievement First Public Charter Schools struggled to manage waitlists for students applying for enrollment.

They needed a way to monitor applications to multiple schools, execute their K-12 student lottery system, and oversee nuances of their process — such as the lack of dynamic sibling preference, a preference that’s applied to one sibling when another is already enrolled in one of their schools.

The Solution

• Evaluate the charter management organization’s current K-12 enrollment, application, and lottery management processes.
• Implement an online enrollment management system, SchoolMint Enroll, to provide a uniform process across the network of schools.
• Customize application, lottery, and placement processes based on the needs of individual schools.
• Access real-time data to make strategic enrollment decisions on student enrollment and to effectively communicate with students and families.

The Results

• Seamless division of responsibility between the external relations team and schools.
• Network-wide support for services, such as application entry, lottery execution, and family waitlist communications, which allows schools to focus specifically on family data.
• Instant notification of lottery results, enabling quick acceptances and real-time data updates.
