School Application Results FAQ

All RPS school application results are available at Enroll RPS (www.attendrvaschools.com).

Once you log in to Enroll RPS, click the blue button on your dashboard displaying your student's name, then click the "[STUDENT NAME] Applications" tab. Their applications and related results will display on the page.

Each application will show a status (Eligible, Ineligible, or In Processing) and a result (Accepted or Waitlisted). If your child does not have one of those results, they were not placed at that school.

If your student received a seat offer, you may accept or decline that offer. To do so, click the appropriate button in the offer row (screenshot below). Initial offers received on March 1, 2024 must be accepted or declined by Friday, March 15, 2024 at 11:59 PM. All other offers must be accepted or declined within ten (10) calendar days from the receipt of the offer. If you do not accept or decline an offer within this timeframe, the offer will automatically decline.

Accepting a seat offer will automatically decline any seat offer that you previously accepted. Declining a seat offer is permanent and cannot be undone. Once an offer is declined it will go to the next student on the relevant waitlist.

If your child was waitlisted for all schools to which they applied, there is no action step for you unless a seat offer is extended. If that occurs, you will receive an email notification and have ten (10) business days to accept or decline the offer. Please make sure to regularly check your email!

Additionally, your child's waitlist number at each school will appear next to their status on the applications tab of your Enroll RPS dashboard (screenshot below). If they were not eligible for a waitlist position at a given school, no waitlist number will appear.

Waitlists for open enrollment and specialty schools will be active through the end of the first week of school. Governor's school waitlists will remain active for the first semester of the 2024-2025 school year.

You now need to complete the enrollment process for your child at their new school. Once you accept a seat you will be able to enroll directly at that school using the online enrollment form at Enroll RPS. 

To do so, click the "[CHILD NAME] Enrollment" and follow the instructions to enroll. You will need to provide two (2) proofs of residency, along with other required documents depending on your child's age and grade, before enrollment is completed. Additionally, you will need to visit your child's school to present their birth certificate or a certified copy. A member of your child's school team will reach out to schedule an appointment.

If you have questions about enrollment, please contact your child's school directly (https://www.rvaschools.net/about/our-schools)

Enroll RPS does not allow for rank-choice selection. If your child was waitlisted at their preferred (a.k.a. "first choice") school but you received an offer to another school, you may accept the offered seat and remain on the waitlist for the preferred school. In the event that a seat is offered for the waitlisted school, you may accept it which will automatically decline your originally accepted offer.

Each school application is reviewed for initial eligibility based on application rules. Once an application is determined eligible to be included in a school's lottery or selection pool, the status will display as "Submitted and eligible". This is not an indicator of a seat offer - that information will appear separately.
