Admission Requirements and Rights

University Prep Value High School primarily recruits students from the neighborhood in which it is located. As is true for surrounding schools, the student population is largely socioeconomically disadvantaged (as defined by eligibility for free or reduced price meals). The traditional public schools in the surrounding area have low achievement profiles. University Prep Value reaches out to students from these schools to inform them of their educational choices. Recruiting, advertising and outreach materials make it clear that University Prep Value High School welcomes all students, including those with disabilities.

University Prep Value High School shall not require a parent/legal guardian/student to provide information regarding a student’s disability, gender, gender identity, gender expression, nationality, legal or economic status, primary language or English Learner status, race or ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic that is contained in the definition of hate crimes set forth in section 422.55 of the Penal Code, or any other information that would violate federal or state law, prior to admission, participation in any admissions or attendance lottery, or pre-enrollment event or process, or as a condition of admission or enrollment. University Prep Value High School may request, at the time of, and as part of, conducting its lottery process, the provision of information necessary to apply specific admissions preferences set forth in its Charter. University Prep Value High School shall not request or require submission of a student’s IEP, 504 Plan, or any other record or related information prior to admission, participation in any admissions or attendance lottery, or pre-enrollment event or process, or as a condition of admission or enrollment.
