We are looking forward to another amazing year!

We continue to accomplish things as a school that set us apart from the rest of the high schools in our area, state, and nation. We started off the school year by being recognized as one of the top 1000 high schools in the United States. This was compared to almost 30,000 high schools nationwide. This is no small accomplishment and it takes a solid team including students, parents, and an entire school staff to all be on the same page to achieve things like this.

I want to recognize all of the hard work that was put in by every single person within the OAHS family to help our students to be their very best. To all Spartans, remember that you only get one chance at life and the decisions you make will determine what you make of the opportunities that you have. Hold yourself to a high standard and don’t be afraid to be different. That is what we are all about at Orcutt Academy.

Orcutt Academy Enrollment for 2024-2025

The Orcutt Academy Charter School began taking enrollment applications for the 2024-2025 school year on Monday, November 6, 2023. The enrollment lottery for 2024-2025 for Orcutt Academy High School and the Academy’s K-8 campus in Los Alamos was held on February 7, 2024. Additionally, a post-lottery drawing for all post-lottery applications received through April 16, 2024, was held on April 17, 2024.

Following these events we still have open seats at Orcutt Academy High School in grade 12, and we invite post-lottery applications for those grade levels and for the wait list in grades 9, 10, and 11. For the K-8 campus, all open seats were filled and each grade level has a wait list, but we invite post-lottery applications as well.

Post-lottery enrollment applications can be sent via the form linked below.

Please note that the post-lottery application for 2024-2025 does not suffice as an application for the 2025-2026 school year.
