Gowan Science Academy Admissions

Gowan Science Academy offers a rigorous, fast-paced curriculum for students in Kindergarten through 8th grade, with a strong focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Our inquiry-based learning approach challenges students to reach their full potential and prepares them to thrive in an ever-changing global community.

We are part of the Crane School District, operate as an open-enrollment public school, and welcome applications from all students residing in Yuma County.

2026-2027 School Year Status

  • At full capacity for all grade levels.

  • The lottery deadline for the 2026-2027 school year has passed, and admissions are finalized.
  • We currently have a waitlist for all grade levels.
  • We are accepting applications ONLY for our waitlist.
 

Looking Ahead to 2027-2028

  • Lottery application window: December 1, 2026 – February 15, 2027.

  • Lottery deadline: February 15, 2027.

  • Applications received after February 15 are placed on a first-come, first-served waitlist.

  • Kindergarten is the main entry point, but applications are accepted for all grades.

  • No entrance exams, interviews, or fees – we are completely tuition-free.

  • We welcome all Yuma County residents and value diversity as an essential part of our school culture.

How Our Lottery Works

  • More students apply than we have space for, so admission is determined by a random lottery.

  • A new lottery is held each year.

  • Students must reapply each year if they remain on the waitlist.

  • Once admitted, students remain enrolled until they are promoted or withdraw – no need to reapply.
