 Admissions Policy
All applications are reviewed by the Admissions Committee, which bases its decision on the school’s ability to meet the applicant’s needs. Acceptance is generally based on a review of the following: age, SJNRCS Admissions Testing results, report cards, standardized testing results, student evaluations, teacher observation, and space availability.   Falsification of records (birth certificate, report card, etc.) or the withholding of pertinent information regarding the student is not permitted. Admission to SJNRCS will be refused should this occur.

On or before September 1: all Kindergarten applicants must be 5 years old and all first grade applicants must be 6 years old. Only students who are currently enrolled in a Catholic School and relocating to the Atlanta area will be considered for admission into the SJNRCS eighth grade class.
 
All applicants are tested by appointment from the applications received. Kindergarten applicants are tested in February and students in Grade 1-8 are tested in early March. Testing for applications received after these dates is scheduled on an individual basis. While the screening is required for all applicants, it does not guarantee acceptance. Factors to be considered in the decision to accept any student are: academic performance, effort, behavior, and work study habits. Entrance tests are only one means of determining if SJNRCS can meet the applicant’s needs and if a child will meet with academic success at SJNRCS.
 
After meeting the admissions qualifications, priority consideration will be given to siblings of current students, Catholic students transferring from another Catholic School, active Catholic students, non-active Catholic students, and non-Catholic students.
