Application Process

It is important to determine whether a student’s home address falls within the BCCHS attendance boundary.   

Students who reside in our attendance boundary are considered RESIDENT (HOME SCHOOL) students. Students who reside outside our attendance boundary are NON-RESIDENT (LOTTERY) students and must follow the lottery process for admission. To determine if your student is a RESIDENT student:  

• Click on the link below.
• Enter your home address and click the search icon.
• If Birmingham appears on the list of high schools, then your student is a RESIDENT student. If your student is a RESIDENT student, please do not submit a lottery application. Click on the Resident. Students (Home School) TAB below for more information.

If Birmingham does not appear on the list of high schools, then your student resides outside our attendance boundary. Students residing OUTSIDE our attendance boundary MUST submit  a lottery application.
