Question: It appears from their website that you have to do the lottory EVERY YEAR? Even if you get into the school. Can a current parent tell me if that is true?

Not true. Once you are in your are in. You just have to confirm your child's enrollment each year.

Not true, except if you initially applied from within the school boundaries but have since moved out-of-boundary.
Make sure you consult the DCPS lottery explanation. They have a FAQs section on these kinds of questions: http://dcps.dc.gov/DCPS/Learn+About+Schools/Preschool,+Pre-Kindergarten+and+Out-of-Boundary+Lottery

Thanks - the website is worded very strangely - but after reading thousands of pages of charter school documentation, I think I'm losing my mind. So I'm learning not to trust it anymore.

The OP was asking about a Public Charter School, not a DCPS school. So, boundaries are not an issue.
