In order to ensure success in the classroom, new students submit their last two report cards and standardized test scores (if applicable). New students also take a math and reading test to assess their ability. This is the same test that current students take to track their progress.

When admissions criteria are met, new students are accepted based upon spaces available in each grade following the January registration period for currently enrolled students and their siblings. Then, active Christ the King Church parishioners are given next priority. In addition, families relocating to Jacksonville, whose children have been attending Catholic school in another location will be considered for enrollment as soon as parents join the parish.
