SY26-27 Application Process
The DC School Lottery Process
Step 1: Attend the DC EdFEST on December 6, December 13, 2025 and visit the Statesmen Virtual Booth
EdFEST, DC’s annual public school fair, will be held in person for the first time since 2019. EdFEST for pre-K 3 through Grade 8 will be held December 6 and December 13th 2025 at DC Armory.
Students and families will be able to explore the city’s public and public charter school options (PK3 – Grade 12), chat directly with school representatives and learn about the public school lottery – all from their devices. With the launch of the public school lottery application on December 6, 2025 and December 13, 2025 for the 2026-27 school year, EdFEST is a timely event to help families make informed choices.
Start by registering for EdFest using the link below. Then use your laptop, tablet or phone to attend EdFest virtually. While at EdFest, find out about the application and enrollment process and visit the Statesmen Academy for Boys booth to discuss your educational goals for your child with a member of our team.
