BCSC Lottery
How BCSC's Lottery Works
A public charter school lottery determines the order in which
students are granted admission into BCSC. Once all available
spaces are filled, names are drawn to determine the order of the
waitlist. Students will be admitted from the waitlist as
spaces become available in each grade.
Preference is given to siblings of enrolled and admitted students
and to students residing in NYC Community School District 7.
