General Admissions Information
If more pupils who are eligible apply to AACPA for enrollment for the school year than the number of spaces which are available, AACPA shall determine which applicants to enroll on the basis of a lottery system. The lottery would be conducted in accordance to NRS 386.580 Subsection 2. These state approved guidelines establish the following enrollment priorities and allowances (listed in order of priority):
- Applicants economically disadvantaged with siblings* attending Agassi Prep, during the school year, and living within a two mile radius of Agassi Prep
- Applicants economically disadvantaged and living within a two mile radius of Agassi Prep
- Applicants with siblings attending Agassi Prep, during the school year and living within a two mile radius of Agassi Prep
- Applicants living within a two mile radius of Agassi Prep
- Applicants with siblings* attending Agassi Prep during the school year
- Applicants economically disadvantaged and living beyond a two mile radius of Agassi Prep
- All remaining applicants
- Preference categories and the selection order are subject to change prior to the 2012 lottery. Any change to the preference categories or the order of selection must be approved by the AACPA Governing Board.
All applicants will be placed on a grade level specific randomly generated waiting list which is based on the priorities listed above. The application is valid for the school year. A new waiting list is generated annually after each lottery on an as needed basis.
"Economically Disadvantaged" qualifications: Applicants who qualify for the National Free and Reduced Lunch Program will meet the requirements for the applicable lottery category.
To be considered for this category applicants will be required to complete a form requiring personal financial information. This information will be handled discretely and confidentially with personal privacy in mind.
Applicants are not required to complete this document if they choose not to be considered for this qualification. An application may still be completed and submitted for consideration in the lottery.
Residency Verification: To verify applicant residency, parents will be required to show one of the following:
- a properly executed contract to purchase a home;
- a properly executed rental or lease agreement;
- a current utility deposit payment receipt or billing statement showing the name of the parent or guardian and the service address. (Clark County School District Regulation 5112.a.2.a);

Mapping software including but not limited to MapQuest© will be used to initially qualify / not qualify my application for the applicable categories.
Failure to provide the requested information may result in my child(ren) losing their space on the waitlist.
"Sibling" qualifications: A sibling is defined as a natural sibling, with both children sharing the same parents; a half sibling, in which both children have a parent in common and live in the same primary residence; a step sibling, in which the parents of both children are married and the children live in the same primary residence; and adopted children who live in the same primary residence. In the case of foster children, this sibling preference would apply to the inclusion of related siblings within the household. In a group home situation, only those students chosen through the lottery and their related siblings, if they have applied, would be included in the sibling preference.
A parent will be required to show proof that the new applicant fits one of the definitions by showing a birth certificate for each child (in the case of natural and half siblings), a custody order (in the case of step, half siblings, foster), as well as proof of the child's residency, either through prior school records that indicate where the child lives or other documentation.
