Magnet lottery software built for a large public school district.

We worked with the district team to turn its rules and review process into software, test it, and launch the live cycle.

The need

Build around the district’s rules and review process.

The district needed software for its magnet program application and lottery. We worked with the staff responsible for the process to turn their requirements into a working application.

The delivery

Build it, test it with staff, and prepare for the live cycle.

The production system included account creation, student-record import and review, ranked applications, search and filtering, administrator review, registration settings, communications, result handling, and launch coordination. District users tested the application before it went live.

  • Staff-led requirementsWe reviewed the requirements with the district staff responsible for the lottery.
  • Testing before launchDistrict users tested the system before the live application opened.
  • Direct feedbackStaff feedback went directly to the people building the product and planning the launch.

Outcome

The district tested the system and launched it for the live magnet lottery.

That is the outcome we can document publicly. We do not publish savings, performance, or satisfaction numbers that the district has not verified.

Would this approach fit your district’s lottery?

We can compare your process with the current product and explain what already fits, what needs testing, and what would need to be built.
