All Lake Washington School District students entering 7th grade are welcome to apply and must do so in the spring of their 6th grade year. Priority is determined solely by a lottery system so that all who apply have an equal chance to attend. Those who are not chosen will be put on a wait list. Maximum enrollment at ICS is 380 students. While the lottery is for incoming 7th graders, older students may apply also, but will be admitted on a "space available" basis. Following is a list of dates relating to student application procedure to ICS.
Names not selected will be placed on a wait-list and will be notified when a space opens. While waiting, students should enroll at their local junior high, as there is no way to determine if and when an opening will occur. All prospective ICS families, including those who have founding family and/or sibling status, must follow and complete the application process and adhere to all dates and timelines.
