Enrollment Applications for 2027-28
School applications open October 13, 2026 for the 2027-2028 school year. Be sure to apply by the February 12th, 2027 deadline!
ARISE High School is proud to partner with Oakland Enrolls to help you choose the best Oakland public school - district or charter - for your child. ARISE High School is a public school, free and open to all students. English language learners and students with disabilities are encouraged to apply. Get started now at OaklandEnrolls.org and don't forget to apply by the February 12th, 2027 deadline!
The application deadline for ARISE High School for the 2027-2028 school year is February 12th, 2027.
Applications received by this deadline will be included in our public lottery, held in March 2027. You will see your charter school lottery results (OFFER or WAITLIST) in your online student dashboard and at that time you can ACCEPT or DECLINE an offer.
The deadline to ACCEPT/DECLINE a charter school offer is March 2027. If you do not accept by then, your charter school lottery offer(s) will expire. Once you accept an offer, offers from other schools will be automatically declined. You can remain on waitlists but may only accept an offer at one school.
If you miss the February 12th, 2027 application deadline, you will still be able to submit an online application for the 2027-28 school year. Applications submitted after the February 12th, 2027 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.
If you already attend ARISE High School, you do not need to apply to attend again next year.
Admission lottery and preferences: if ARISE receives more applications than open seats, admission is decided by a random public lottery. Current ARISE students are guaranteed a seat for the next school year. Lottery preferences are applied in this order: (1) siblings of enrolled and admitted ARISE students; (2) children of ARISE staff and board members (not to exceed 10% of enrollment); (3) students zoned to attend underperforming OUSD schools where 70% or more of students qualify for free or reduced-price meals (a minimum of 60% of available seats); (4) other students who live within OUSD boundaries; (5) all other applicants.
Students with disabilities are welcome at ARISE. Our special education team, including Resource Specialist Program (RSP) teachers and our Director of Special Education, provides services and supports for students with IEPs. Learn more about special education at ARISE.
