Lottery Entry
At Temecula Valley Charter School, demand for enrollment often exceeds the number of available seats. That’s why we use a lottery system to ensure a fair and transparent process for all families. By submitting your application during the lottery window, you secure your child’s spot in the drawing and increase the chances of receiving an enrollment offer.
