Yes, the overwhelming majority of IVA students come here after promoting from an LBUSD elementary school and then head back to an LBUSD high school after promotion.
While IVA students matriculate to and from other LBUSD schools, IVA’s enrollment process is separate from the LBUSD Middle School Choice Process. From December through March IVA accepts applications for the following school year. All applications received by the March deadline are entered into a random public lottery and spots are offered to students whose names are randomly chosen. All other students are placed on our waitlist. Please check our Lottery and Waitlist page for more details about our enrollment process.
