    Note: During the Spring School Choice Conditional Acceptance phase, applicants will be selected based on their 2023-2024 final report card grades and their May 10, 2025, test scores. In grades K-3, students selected for Spring conditional acceptance MUST maintain a B final average or a standards-based report card rating of a 2 in language arts and math for the 2024-2025 school year. In grades 4-11, applicants MUST earn an 80 final average in all core subjects (math, reading, science, and social studies) during the 2024-2025 school year in order to be officially accepted. It is the applicant's responsibility to mail, or deliver in person, to the school a copy of his or her 2024-2025 final report card by July 1, 2025. If the report card is not received or if the student does not earn at least a B in all subjects, the applicant's position will be given to the next qualified person on the waiting list.
