Admissions

Quimby Oak students will have priority over students attending schools outside of our attendance area. If you live within the Quimby Oak attendance area, applying to LSI is an automatic option. 

Once your student is enrolled in LSI, you will not need to re-enroll them again. It is understood, based on the application, that LSI is a two year commitment for 7th and 8th grade.

LSI has an application form that needs to be submitted online. (See above.) Please contact the Quimby office if you are having trouble accessing the online application.  Applications include a student essay submission. This submission is not evaluative, but a necessary component of our application process. We want all students to share with us why they've chosen LSI. It is an important part of building initial relationships with our potential student body. Applying to LSI is a family decision and we believe that students should also have a say in what works best for how they learn. Applications without an essay submission will not be accepted.

To attend LSI, students must be enrolled in Evergreen School District (ESD). Completing the LSI online application does not automatically enroll your child in ESD. Please follow the steps outlined under the Application Process section of this webpage.

There are 150 available spaces for incoming 7th graders. Applications are accepted beginning in March.  All applications will be date/time stamped and placed on the enrollment list by the school registrar. We will accept applications until the program is filled. After 150 applications have been received the following applications will be placed on a waitlist in the order they were received.

They will remain at Quimby Oak Middle School and receive a Lobo Discovery Academy (traditional) schedule.

Grades are not a determining factor. LSI is an option for all students in Quimby Oak Middle School's attendance area that choose to apply.
