Levels of Priority 

Students receive varying levels of priority status when applying. This means a student may receive a higher rank or status than other applicants depending upon certain factors. Below is the rank order of the various categories of returning students and new applicants.

  1. Re-enrolling student at the same campus
  2. Re-enrolling student at a campus where there is NO continuing grade level to serve them and they are now applying for a different campus. Example: An eighth grade student at Quest Middle School is applying to another ResponsiveEd campus for high school because Quest does not have ninth grade.
  3. Student of an employee at the same campus
  4. Student of an employee at a different campus or corporate
  5. Sibling of a student currently enrolled* (see definition below) at the SAME campus
  6. Sibling of a student from a different TCPA campus or a transfer student
  7. General applicant with no identified status as indicated above

* “Enrolled” or enrollment occurs when a student is recorded in attendance at a given campus and not merely when a student has been offered a seat through a lottery. They must actually ATTEND to be identified as enrolled.

Priority status is granted as soon as it is warranted. For instance, priority status is given to the student of an employee upon completion of the hiring process.
