Enrollment
Enrollment for the 2025-2026 school year has reopened due to enough interest to establish a third cohort!
We will have three classes in our opening year, separated by grade level bands from Kindergarten through Eighth Grade – Primary, Intermediate, and Middle School – and we have hired two additional highly-qualified teachers to join our team!
Please note, we are still working on developing our Homeschool Enrichment Program and are not currently accepting applications for that program at this time. To get on our Homeschool Enrichment waitlist, please contact homeschool.enrichment@highrockiescommunityschool.org.

Enrollment Process from HRCS Enrollment Policy:
Students will be granted priority enrollment in the following order:
- Children of HRCS staff (not to exceed 20 percent of total enrollment)
- Children of HRCS Founding Team members (not to exceed 20 percent of total enrollment)
- All other applicants.
The process for priority enrollment will precede the lottery. If needed, a lottery will be used to determine the placement of students for any class for which the number of Pre-Registration forms exceeds capacity. Applicants not selected in the lottery will be placed on an order-drawn waitlist. Siblings of enrolled students for whom a seat is not available will be placed at the top of the waitlist, if applicable. Applications submitted after the enrollment period closes will be placed on the waiting list by the date of application.
