Enrollment Open for YES Prep’s North Rankin Elementary School in Spring and Klein Area
Parents in the Spring and Klein communities have the opportunity to enroll their children in YES Prep’s newest charter school, the YES Prep North Rankin Elementary School. The enrollment window will remain open until February 17, which is crucial for families looking to secure spots for their children in this expanding educational facility.
The North Rankin campus is designed to cater to students from pre-Kindergarten through second grade for the 2024-25 academic year. Future expansion plans are already in place, with the addition of third grade scheduled for the 2025-26 school year, followed by fourth and fifth grades in subsequent years. The systematic growth is part of YES Prep’s strategic approach to providing a structured educational path, ensuring that students have a continuous and supportive learning environment as they progress through their early education.
The Enrollment Process
To facilitate a fair enrollment process, YES Prep utilizes an admissions lottery. This method is implemented when there are more applicants than available classroom spaces, ensuring an equitable selection process. Families interested in enrolling their children must submit their applications by the February 17 deadline to be considered. Applications received after this date will be automatically placed on a waitlist, and families will be notified of the lottery results on February 21.
This lottery system is important in providing equal opportunities for all interested families and managing the demand for educational spaces at the newly established campus.
Understanding Public Charter Schools in Texas

YES Prep, in particular, champions a college-ready curriculum, underlining its commitment to academic excellence.
In addition to a focus on educational quality, YES Prep offers a range of support services. Families enrolled at North Rankin Elementary School will benefit from complimentary meals, uniforms, access to electronic devices, transportation services, special education programs, English language learning, and comprehensive health and mental health services. This holistic approach aims to address not only the educational needs of students but also their social and emotional well-being.
YES Prep operates 24 campuses throughout the Greater Houston area and serves approximately 20,000 students.
