How admission works

Renaissance Charter School at Tradition takes applications online through Charter Schools USA’s enrollment system, linked from the school’s website. For 2026-27, every application filed during open enrollment had an equal chance, and if a grade had more applicants than seats, a random computer lottery decided who was offered a seat, with sibling preference, according to the school’s enrollment page. The school says it keeps taking applications after open enrollment ends, through the last day of the school year.
