Families can re-rank their schools until March 14 at 5 p.m.

The school year 2025-26 lottery is now closed. If a family submitted a lottery application, they can no longer add or delete schools to their application at this time; however, they can re-rank their school selections (optional) until March 14, 2025 at 5 p.m. by logging into their family account. Remember that the way an applicant ranks their schools matters!

Results will be released on March 28

Lottery results will be released on March 28, 2025. Applicants can access their lottery results by logging into their My School DC family account.
