Admissions

Our school aims to support students at all stages of their learning journey, however, lab school legislation requires that at least 80% of our enrollment consist of students who need additional academic support to reach grade level expectations. 

Please note that acceptance into our school is subject to one or more of the following factors:

  1. Grade Level Availability: Enrollment is dependent on the availability of spaces within the requested grade level. If the grade level is at full capacity, the student will be placed on a waiting list.
  2. Residential School Assignment: The student’s eligibility for enrollment is influenced by their assigned residential school in WS/FCS and that school’s performance designation.  Students zoned to low-performing schools have priority enrollment.
  3. Academic Progress: Student’s current academic progress in relation to meeting grade level expectations will be used to determine eligibility.
    • Kindergarten students are required to complete a kindergarten screening. 
    • 1st-5th grade students may be asked to provide one or more of the following documents:
      • Report Card
      • NC State Testing Results

If you have questions about eligibility, please contact us. Eligible students are accepted in the order in which the applications are received and by grade level and school capacity. Child must be at least five years of age on or before August 31 of that school year.
