Don’t Miss the On-Time Deadline! Families can still apply after February 12, 2027. Applications received after the deadline will be considered late applications and reviewed based on available spaces and applicable waitlist procedures.
2027–28 Important Enrollment Dates
October 13, 2026 — Applications Open: Families can begin submitting applications for the 2027–28 school year.
February 12, 2027 — On-Time Application Deadline: Apply by this date to be included in the on-time enrollment process and any applicable lottery.
March 2, 2027 — Public School Lottery: If a grade level receives more applications than available seats, a public lottery will be held to determine placement. Details about the lottery time and how families can attend will be shared closer to the date.
March 4, 2027 — Application Results Available: Families who applied during the on-time enrollment period will receive their results. Depending on seat availability, students may receive an enrollment offer (an available spot) or be placed on the waitlist.
Application Deadline
The deadline to ACCEPT/DECLINE a charter school offer is March 20, 2026. If you do not accept by this date, your charter school lottery offer(s) will expire. Once you accept an offer, offers from other Oakland charter schools will be automatically declined. You can remain on waitlists but may only accept an offer at one school.
Missed Deadline
If you miss the February 13, 2026 application deadline, you will still be able to submit an online application for the 2026-2027 school year.
Charter school applications submitted after the February deadline will be considered a Late Application – you will be placed on a waiting list at each of your selected schools, and/or offered enrollment if space becomes available.
Re-enrollment
If you already attend Latitude High School, you do not need to apply to attend again next year.
