Admissions
The Hawbridge School is a tuition-free public charter school serving students in kindergarten through twelfth grade.
Families throughout North Carolina are welcome to apply, and admission is determined through an open and equitable enrollment process.
2027–28 Admissions
Applications for the 2027–28 school year will open November 1, 2026.
The Hawbridge School uses Lotterease, an independent enrollment system, to manage applications, the enrollment lottery, and post-lottery waiting lists. Registered users may log in to their parent or guardian account at any time to review a student’s application or waiting-list status.
Approved by the Board of Directors September 24, 2014; amended February 7, 2020.
The Hawbridge School is a tuition-free public school. Any child who is qualified under the laws of North Carolina for admission to a public school is qualified for admission to a charter school. To qualify to attend a North Carolina public school, a student must be a resident of North Carolina. County boundaries and traditional school attendance areas do not affect charter school enrollment.
The Hawbridge School does not limit admission on the basis of intellectual ability, measures of achievement or aptitude, athletic ability, disability, race, creed, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, religion, or ancestry.
Parents and guardians should carefully review the following steps before beginning an application.
Visit the Parents section of Lotterease, select the login option, and then choose registration.
Do not enter the student’s information on the initial account-registration screen. The contact information entered here is the information Hawbridge will use if a student is selected. Please review it carefully and keep it current throughout the school year.
Select “Add Child” and enter the appropriate student and lottery information.
Proof of residency and any documentation supporting an enrollment preference will be required before enrollment.
Select each preference group that applies to the student. When no preference applies, submit the page without making a selection. Enrollment priority criteria are also listed below.
Families applying for more than one child may use the “Add Sibling” option. Students who are already enrolled do not need to reapply. Only siblings should be linked through the same Lotterease account; other relatives or friends should not be added to the account.
Confirmation will be sent from The_Hawbridge_School@lotterease.com. When a confirmation does not arrive within a few minutes, check the spam or junk folder.
After You Apply
After the lottery is conducted, families will receive an email and text message when a student is selected. Families of students placed on a waiting list will receive an email.
Please add The_Hawbridge_School@lotterease.com to your email contacts and keep all contact information current. Hawbridge cannot be responsible for communications or deadlines missed because contact information was incorrect or messages were directed to a spam folder.
Parents and guardians are responsible for reviewing all application information for accuracy.
If information is falsified during registration or enrollment, the student’s application will be considered null and void, and any offer of admission may be revoked. Applications determined to contain falsified information may be placed at the bottom of the waiting list.
The Hawbridge School may provide enrollment priority in certain circumstances permitted under G.S. 115C-218.45(f). Priority may be given to:
Priority enrollment for children of staff and Board members shall not exceed 15% of the total student body.
Families with questions about admissions, applications, or the enrollment process are encouraged to contact the appropriate school director.
