General Information
Application FAQs
When can I apply for the next school year? Applications for the 2027-2028 school year open on October 1, 2026, and can be completed online or in person at either Memphis Rise Academy Middle or High School. Submitting an application prior to the lottery deadline, while it does increase the chance of a more favorable wait list number, does not guarantee admission.
How does the lottery system work? All applications received by 5:00 PM on December 3 will be included in a random-draw lottery, which will be held in early December. It is not necessary to be present at the lottery to accept a seat if offered. Applications received on or after December 3, 2026, at 5 PM will be added to the wait list in the order they are received.
What if I miss the deadline? Applications received on or after December 3 at 5 PM will not be included in the lottery. They will be added to a numbered wait list in the order they are received.
Do I need to re-apply each school year? Applications do not carry over from one school year to the next. If you submitted an application for the 2026-2027 school year (or any school year prior) and would like your student to be considered for the 2027-2028 school year, please submit another application between October 1 and December 3. Applications submitted before October 1, 2026 can not be considered for the 2027-2028 school year.
