Public Student Enrollment Lottery
2026-02-13 03:30 - 16:00
RCM’s 2026-2027 student enrollment lottery will be held on Friday, February 13th at 3:30 p.m. at our Manila Campus (1611 Peninsula Drive, Arcata).
The lottery is open to the public. The lottery will be completed by random drawing to determine placement for all available spaces and to build the waiting list for the 2026-2027 school year. You are welcome to attend, however, you do not need to be present in order for your child(ren) to be entered into the lottery.
Although all applicants will be entered into the lottery, not all grade levels have available space for the upcoming school year. There are a limited number of spaces in the following grades:

Transition Kindergarten: 14 spaces

1st grade: 1 space

2nd grade: 1 space

3rd grade: 1 space

For grade levels 7 – 12 there will not be a lottery drawing as all students that have submitted an Intent to Enroll form will be offered enrollment for the 2026-2027 school year.
Applicants not selected for enrollment will be placed on the waiting list in the order their names are drawn during the lottery.
