Yes. For the 2025 – 2026 lottery, students who are siblings, students of staff or board members receive preference. Atlanta Unbound Academy also maintains a weighted lottery. This weight is explained below:
AUA will implement a weighted lottery. An increased chance of admission will be provided to the following subsets of educationally disadvantaged students with each subset defined by the State Board in accordance with federal guidelines and regulations;
To facilitate the weighted lottery, applicants may indicate their status on the admissions application and the school verifies this status during registration. The school will make a good faith effort to confirm a child’s status prior to the lottery. The weight shall be calculated annually as 4:1. This means if a student qualifies for any of the above 5 categories, that child receives 4 chances in the school’s lottery.
Per the school’s charter contract:
The charter school shall have a weighted lottery.
The lottery will take place on Tuesday, February 18, 2025, at 10:00 AM at Atlanta Unbound Academy, located at 1025 McDonough Blvd SE, Atlanta, GA 30315.
The event is open to the public and can be attended virtually via Google Meet. Please note, additional information will be shared on our website closer to the lottery drawing if a lottery is necessary.
All students who have been granted an available seat must complete all registration requirements by the registration deadline or their seat will be forfeited.
