Lottery Process Overview

PLEASE NOTE: THIS APPLICATION PROCESS IS AVAILABLE ONLY FOR STUDENTS LIVING IN THE RENTON SCHOOL DISTRICT BOUNDARIES.

Sartori Elementary School is Renton School District’s only option school. This means that it does not have an official boundary. Families who wish to have their student attend Sartori Elementary School must submit an application. For a given grade level, if there are more applications than openings, a lottery will take place to determine placement and a wait list.

Only students living in the Renton School District Boundary and students whose parents/guardians are full-time employees of the Renton School District may apply for Sartori during the application period.

When may I enroll?

How do I enroll?

All families who are interested in attending Sartori Elementary must apply during the open application period by using the link under the Sartori Lottery Enrollment Application tab. Families must name each child they wish to enroll on their family application.

Students who are new to the Renton School District: Families must also complete the Renton School District registration online process (NSOE) between January and February 2025. This is a separate process from the Sartori lottery application.

How will I know if I successfully complete the enrollment process?

Automated emails confirming the receipt of applications will be sent via SchoolMint to the email addresses provided by families (only if an email is not provided will families receive a phone call). If a family does not receive a confirmation of their application, they should first check filtered messages, then call 425-204-4501. You can check the status of your application on the SchoolMint portal.
