LOTTERY CRITERIA AND PROCESSMadison Park Technical Vocational High School is open to students in all Boston neighborhoods. However, the vocational technical laboratories (shops) are designed and equipped to serve a specific maximum number of students safely and therefore the number of seats available in the school are limited. There are several Admission Lotteries / registration periods in the Boston Public Schools, to increase the chances of receiving an assignment to Madison Park Technical Vocational High School, students rank Madison Park Technical Vocational High School as the highest possible choice on the School Choice Application for high school assignment and apply during the earliest Admission Lottery / registration period for their grade as published in the annual “Introducing the Boston Public Schools” and on the website. www.bostonpublicschools.org/register This Admission Lottery / registration period typically occurs in January. Students submitting applications during subsequent Admission Lotteries / registration periods will be considered for selection to attend Madison Park Technical High School. Lottery numbers will be randomly assigned by a computer at the end of each Admission Lottery / registration period. Seats will be filled in order, beginning with students having the lowest lottery number. This process is repeated at the end of each Admission Lottery / registration period until all available slots at Madison Park are full. Students who choose Madison Park Technical High School and are not assigned will be placed on Madison Park’s wait list. Notification of assignment or wait list status is sent to parents/students by letter beginning in March of each year list. Wait lists are managed in accordance with policy established by the School Committee as described in the annual publication, Introducing the Boston Public Schools and on the website at www.bostonpublicsschools.org/assignment. Students who do not receive an assignment to any school of their choice may be placed on up to three wait lists for high schools. Students may not occupy more than three wait lists. All wait lists expire at the end of the second marking period (January of the following year.) .

Students in Grade 11 can only transfer into Madison Park Technical High School from a non- Chapter 74 state-approved vocational program when they apply by September 30th. Grade 12 students and Grade 11 students wishing to enter Madison Park Technical High School after September 30th can only enter Madison Park Technical High School during the school year if they are transferring from a Chapter 74 state-approved vocational technical program that Madison Park Technical High School offers and has space availability.
