University schools in Florida are authorized to provide instruction for
grades K-12 and university students, support university research
efforts, and test educational reforms for Florida schools. ADHUS is a
public school and thus does not charge tuition. It is open to children

lottery. Student characteristics of gender, race, family income and
student ability are used to match the student population profile to that
