FAQ
How many openings will you have in each grade level and what are your admission priorites?
A.We open applications to grade levels based on current enrollment.
Our school campus is kindergarten through eighth grade. While we cannot guarantee the exact number of openings until we have completed our current student re-enrollments in January, we warmly welcome new students at various grade levels every year. If you are considering Assumption Catholic School for your child, we encourage you to apply.
As openings become available, the following priorities are used to accept applicants to Assumption Catholic School:
1. Registered and active Assumption Catholic Church Parishioner
2. Sibling of current registered and active Catholic Assumption student
3. Registered and active members of other Catholic parishes
4. Child of parent or sibling alumni
5. Non-Catholic students
Does participation in any part of the admissions process indicate an admissions decision?
A.No. Participation (or non-participation) in any phase of the admissions process should not be interpreted as an admissions decision; all final decisions are communicated in March.
My child’s current school requires re-enrollment before Assumption releases admissions decisions. What should we do?
A.Families are encouraged to make the best decision for their child based on the information available at the time. Since Assumption Catholic School releases all final admissions decisions in March, we recommend that families maintain their current school enrollment until an official decision is received. This helps avoid the risk of losing a secured placement while the admissions process is still underway.
Does Assumption Catholic School offer tours and shadow days?
A.Assumption Catholic School offers individual tours that both parents and prospective students can attend. These can be scheduled on our website at the VISIT ACS tab. Due to the number of applications received, we do not offer student shadow days.

A.No, all students who wish to enroll at Assumption Catholic School must go through the entire admissions process and submit an application by the published due date.
Do you accept 8th grade students?
A.When space allows, 8th grade transfer applicants may be considered from non-local Catholic schools.
What is your student-teacher ratio?
