Allocation Policy

K- 8th grade applicants are ranked by their total matrix score - 75% of available seats are assigned to the top matrix scorers (1st tier). The remaining 25% of the available seats at each grade level will be filled through a NOLA-PS conducted lottery of all qualified applicants (2nd-tier). Qualified students who do not receive a seat assignment at the time of the lottery will be placed on a waiting list. Waitlist will expire on September 1st 2025. 

Sibling Rule

Eligible Kindergarten Main Round applicants with siblings who are current LFC students in kindergarten through 7th grade receive the highest priority in seat assignment.

Twin Rule

An applicant shall be matched with his or her sibling(s) only if all students have submitted timely, family-linked applications per standard enrollment procedures. *Only applies to eligible applicants.
