Admissions Lottery
Haas Hall Academy serves scholars in grades 7-12 at its four campuses in Northwest Arkansas — Bentonville, Fayetteville, Rogers, and Springdale. A fifth campus will open in Fort Smith Fall 2023. We will accept applications for grades 7-11 at the Fort Smith campus for the 2023-2024 school year.
Haas Hall Academy scholars must reside in the state of Arkansas while enrolled and attending the school. Any child who is entering grades 7-12 who lives outside of Arkansas may apply to attend Haas Hall Academy. However, applicants who live outside of Arkansas and gain admission to Haas Hall Academy must reside in Arkansas by the first day of school.
Pursuant with the Arkansas Quality Charter Schools Act of 2013, each year Haas Hall Academy conducts a random, anonymous Admissions Lottery for each grade at each campus to determine which applicants are admitted to fill available seats. At the time of submission, each application is assigned a unique Lottery ID. The Lottery ID is used instead of names to identify applicants. During each Admissions Lottery drawing, the applications are assigned a random number. Those random numbers are then sorted into ascending order, which gives us the Lottery Results. The results are posted on our website.
