Admission Policy
 
As a public elementary school, the Gabriella Charter School  is open to all students residing in California who wish to attend.  The school does not base admission on race, color, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, religion or disability.  GCS is nonsectarian in its programs, curriculum and operations.  GCS does not charge tuition.  GCS adheres to all state and federal laws regarding the minimum age of students.
    
The Gabriella Charter School is a K5 elementary school.  Kindergarten through third grades have 20 students per class and fourth and fifth grades increase to 25 students per class.
 
Each year, there will be 20 openings for the entering Kindergarten class.  Should the number of pupils that wish to attend GCS exceed the enrollment limit, a public random lottery takes place to determine the school enrollment in accordance with Education Code section 47605(d)(2)(B).  Preference is given to pupils who reside within the LAUSD attendance area, to the siblings of alreadyenrolled students and to the children of school employees.  A wait- list is developed from the list of students who do not receive admission.  Should openings occur during the school year, parents of waitlisted children will be notified.  Waitlisted students will also receive priority for openings the following school year with consideration going to balancing boys and girls.
