Admissions and Lottery

Who Can Apply?

Any family in Indiana can apply to have a student admitted to Burris, but space is limited.

Because Burris is a family school, the admissions process gives priority to applicants who have a sibling already attending Burris. When a general lottery position is available, siblings have first priority.

Burris accepts new students each year for kindergarten.

Transfer students in grades 1-11 are accepted as space becomes available via the lottery process. Burris draws for both positions we have available and the waitlist at the time of the lottery. As with kindergarten, priority is granted to students with siblings already in Burris.
