Enrollment Overview

Students in grades 6 through 12 are encouraged to apply to OCS. We accept students from all backgrounds without regard to previous academic performance including grades, test scores or attendance records. Students are accepted based on a lottery system and only need to fill out an application to apply.   

We give enrollment preference to students who:

1.    Have siblings currently enrolled at OCS
2.    Live in Community School District 3

  • Each applicant is only allowed one ticket for the lottery.
  • During the lottery, student names are drawn one at a time and listed in the order they are pulled.
  • After the lottery is complete, OCS informs families by phone, email, and a letter in the mail. 
 
IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure to inform OCS if your phone number or address changes.
If Your Child is Selected 
​
You will receive an acceptance packet that must be turned in by the given deadline in order to secure your child's slot. Once the acceptance packet is received, you will be scheduled for an intake meeting.

You MUST submit the following documents in order to register your child:
  • Proof of residence
  • Child’s birth certificate or passport
  • Child’s immunization records (must be up to date)
  • Child’s physical form completed by doctor
  • Child's latest report card/transcript
  • Child’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) and/or 504 Accommodation Plan (if applicable and available)
  • At the time of enrollment we require a student report card to demonstrate successful completion of their previous grade.
If Your Child is Wait-listed  
If your child is not selected in the lottery, he or she will be placed on a waiting list for future openings. You will be informed of your child’s waiting list number and, if taken off the waiting list, a phone call will be made to the phone numbers listed on the application.
