A lottery
system is used to provide an equal opportunity for all
students who request participation in one of the Anchorage
School District's programs or schools other than the assigned
District program or school and to provide grade level and gender
balance. No student shall be denied participation because of
a learning disability, handicapping condition, or special need. |
Parents and students have many educational options within the
Anchorage School District. The district offers these options because
each student is important to us, and the instructional method that
is the best for one child may not be the best for another.
