LYNN ? KIPP Academy’s largest lottery to date ? with seats available for grades K-12 ? will be held for the rest of this week.In 2005 KIPP opened its first school in Lynn with 77 fifth-graders. Sixty-eight percent of them are still in college. The academy moved into its current building on High Rock Street in 2011, with a founding class of 96 ninth-graders. When this class graduates in the spring, it will be the first-ever group of seniors to matriculate through a KIPP school in Massachusetts.The lottery process is a state law the charter schools must follow. It is designed to make the admissions process fair, said Caleb Dolan, executive director of KIPP. This year, there are 120 kindergarten openings but 240 applicants, which is why the law is in effect, Dolan said.”We are responsible to do right by kids,” Dolan said.Primary entry points for the school are kindergarten and fifth grade, because they have the most available seats. An application is not needed for consideration. Families submit a basic contact information form, and when it is turned in, it does not give applicants a better chance of being accepted, Dolan said.In the selection process, a third-party member of the community draws names from a lottery spinner.”The KIPP team is a great team and the lottery has seen improvements every year,” Dolan said.The school does take into consideration those families who already have children enrolled in the school, Dolan said. The process is called sibling preference, which means if a student is already attending KIPP, a sibling who is applying to kindergarten or fifth grade is automatically accepted. This can lower the number of lottery spots, Dolan said.Siblings of a students attending the school applying for any other grades get moved to the top of the waiting list, and if they are not selected in the original lottery they become a priority if an opening becomes available, he said.”Families appreciate KIPP and we want them to have confidence in the process,” Dolan said.”We are trying to do as much outreach as possible,” Dolan said in regards to informing parents about the school and its selection process.
