If the number of applications exceeds the capacity of the program, class, grade level, or building, students will be accepted by lottery, as specified in federal or state guidelines.

A sibling of a pupil currently or previously enrolled,
Children of LEC employees, and
Children of the LEC committee, provided enrollment does not exceed twenty percent of the enrollment of LEC.

Priority enrollment does not guarantee any student admission to LEC, as acceptance remains based on space availability in each applicable grade.
