The My School DC common lottery is a single, random lottery that determines placement for new students at all participating schools. Student-school matches are based on a variety of factors, including the number of spaces at each school; sibling, and other preferences; and each student’s choices. Below is a helpful video explaining how My School DC selects students:

Equitable Access Preference:
Yu Ying Is Open to All!

Yu Ying is proud to be one of 11 DC public charter schools to offer equitable access preference. This means Yu Ying will set aside a certain number of seats for students who are considered at risk. These students have a better chance of being matched with Yu Ying if they pick the school as a top choice in the My School DC lottery. This is just like how a sibling preference works. DC defines at-risk students as those who:

Are experiencing homelessness.
Are in the DC foster care system.
Qualify for government benefits such as SNAP or TANF.

You can learn more about the My School DC lottery at myschooldc.org. The application deadline for fall 2022 is March 1, 2022. We’d love for you to pick Yu Ying as your #1 choice!
