Enrollment

Langston is a choice and each family must decide if the school is a good fit for each child. The burden is on the parents to determine if this school is appropriate for their child. To that end, we hold Information Meetings prior to the enrollment lottery each year. The purpose of this meeting is to clearly explain the school program, what you can expect from Langston Charter Middle, and what Langston expects from their students and parents. 

There are two requirements in order to participate in the lottery for the 2027-2028 school year:

1. Attendance at either a school tour or a lottery information meeting. Dates of tours and lottery information meetings are listed above.
2. Submission of the lottery application before the deadline on Friday, October 30 at 4:00 PM.

Good information is shared in both the tour and the meeting, but more detailed information is covered during the hour-long lottery information meetings. The information in the meetings is accessible to students and can be helpful to both students and parents as they make a decision in determining whether or not Langston is a good fit. 

For families who are interested, attending both is encouraged. 

In order to be considered a “sibling applicant” and bypass the enrollment lottery, an applicant must meet the following requirements:

• Share at least one common parent, either by birth or legal adoption with a sibling either currently enrolled or who has completed at least one year at Langston within the last six years.
• Complete and submit a lottery application by the required date.
• Complete all other required steps of the enrollment process.

All remaining names on the lottery lists are considered to be on the wait list for the corresponding class – – any additional openings will be filled by contacting the names listed in order.

We do not roll the wait lists over year to year – – everyone must reapply each year during the lottery window in order to be eligible for consideration.

We provide a Wait List Application (found below after the application window closes) for anyone who did not participate in the lottery process.  Once received, Wait List Applications are date and time stamped and placed in order of receipt at the end of the lottery names.

We do not know of any openings in either the 7^th or 8^th grade classes until families notify us that they are not returning to Langston.  Any openings which are filled will be due to normal attrition, and we often do not begin filling those openings until closer to the end of the school year. 

The only public tours are offered during the month of October. Students accepting the offer to enroll will be given an additional opportunity to view the school in the Spring.

Parents are welcome to contact the Director of Admissions at the school for an update on their child’s wait list status. 

No student shall be denied equal opportunity for admission based on race, sex, color, religion, handicap, marital status, or national origin. Langston Charter Middle School is open to all students in grades 6 – 8.
