Lottery process at David Thomas King School
For the 2025 - 2026 school year, with the exception of Grades 8 and 9, David Thomas King School is full in planned classes in the regular program. Resident students in these grades whose parent(s)/legal guardian(s) have newly moved into the school’s attendance area for the regular program will now have access to the overflow designated schools—Youngstown School for elementary and Michael Phair School for Grade 7.
As a Level 3 school, David Thomas King School will continue to have a lottery process in place for new resident attendance area students enrolling at the school for the 2025–26 school year. This will not impact current students who attend the school.
The school will not accept new registrations from families in the attendance area if the student is not a resident student of Edmonton Public Schools. In most cases, a resident student of Edmonton Public Schools has at least one parent or legal guardian living in Edmonton who is not Roman Catholic.
Resident students who aren’t selected through the lottery process can attend their overflow designated school, Youngstown for Elementary students and Michael Phair for Junior High students, a Level 1 Division school with space in planned classes, or remain at their current school, if applicable.
Siblings of current students attending David Thomas King School
New resident students in the attendance area who have a sibling returning to the school next year will get priority but are not guaranteed to attend.
