How does the Lottery & Enrollment Process Work?

Elevated Charter School is a public charter school, open to all residents of Utah.

For the 2025-2026 school year, we are enrolling grades K–9.

Beginning in August 2026, Elevated Charter School will serve grades K–12 for all Utah residents.

Please note that students utilizing the Utah Fits All Scholarship (UFAS) are not eligible to enroll at Elevated.

As required by Utah law, Elevated Charter School processes enrollment through a lottery system. The lottery ensures each applicant has an equal chance of enrollment.

If selected, siblings (within the same household) of the chosen student are also invited to enroll, provided spaces are available.

Applications for the 25-26 school year opened January 8th, and the first lottery for the 25-26 school year will be held on March 3, 2025. 

After our lottery, we will enroll students in the order in which they apply, as space allows.

Elevated Charter School does not discriminate in its admission policies or practices in accordance with Utah Code.  

Per Utah legislation 53G-6-502 Eligible students, Elevated Charter School will allow preferential enrollment to certain student populations, in accordance with state and federal law:

1. a child or grandchild of an individual who has actively participated in the development of the charter school; 

2. a child or grandchild of a member of the charter school governing board; 

3. a sibling of an individual who was previously or is presently enrolled in the charter school

4. a child of an employee of the charter school

5. a child of a military service member 

Elevated Charter School enrolls students in K-8 throughout the school year, as space allows. 

Students in grades 9-12 must enroll by the start of semester 2. For the 25-26 school year, that is January 5, 2026.

As a public school, Elevated Charter School is tuition-free to all Utah K-12 students. 

We do offer optional clubs that have materials fees, for which students can use some of their Personalized Learning Funds or pay out of pocket. Families may apply for club fee waivers, which are based on household size and income. We want all students to have equal access to core learning and extracurricular clubs!

ASPIRE is Utah's Student Information System (SIS). Students are not fully enrolled until they have registered with ASPIRE. 

All Elevated students have 10 days, after accepting their Elevated spot, to register in ASPIRE.  We need students to complete ASPIRE registration, so that we can continue to fill spots and staff our school appropriately.

It's a simple and quick process. If we need additional information or documentation, we will reach out to you to arrange the best way to obtain that, but you can register with ASPIRE even if you don't have documentation handy at the moment. 

Upon accepting your spot, you will receive detailed instructions to register with ASPIRE. If you have any questions, we are here to help!
