OUR ADVANTAGE

Public school designed for your child’s success

Academic quality

Our students outperform both district and charter schools in almost every subject matter – from reading to science to history.

Award-winning programs

From chess, to soccer, to dance – we offer a spectrum of activities to widen their horizons at no cost.

Personal attention

We go beyond learning your child’s name. We know their favorite subject and how many teeth the tooth fairy has taken. And we partner with you along the way.

Eligibility Requirements

  • ​​Your child must be entering Kindergarten through 6th grade. Note: not all schools have open seats in 5th and 6th grade.
  • Your child must be five years old by March 31, 2026 to apply to kindergarten.
  • You must be a resident of New York State to apply to any Success Academy school.
  • Admission is FREE and is determined by a random lottery after the application deadline on April 1, 2025. 

Application Guidelines

  • The application is only for children that are not currently enrolled at any of our Success Academy Charter Schools. Current Success families: only submit an application if you are enrolling a new student.
  • Transferring? Families with students currently enrolled at Success may submit an application to transfer but will release their current seat if accepted. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you reach out to your school office to request a transfer.
  • For registration or middle school placement, please contact your school's main office (do not submit an application). 

Lottery Preference

Preference in the lottery is given to:

  • Siblings of current Success students or newly accepted students.
  • Children of Success employees.
  • Applicants who reside within the Community School District (CSD) of a school to which they’ve applied.
  • English Language Learners (ELL) receive a weighted preference in the lottery.
  • The application deadline is April 1, 2025. Applications received after the deadline will be considered waitlist applications. We may process waitlist applications several times throughout the spring and summer depending on available seats.
