Admission Standards

The Admissions staff reviews all application information carefully. Students considered for entry to MIS will be those who meet our established criteria.

PreK students must be four years old on or before September 1 (Texas state law). If you are unsure that your child is ready for kindergarten, we encourage you to discuss your concerns with your preschool director. Incoming Kindergarten students must be five years old on or before September 1 (Texas state law).

Incoming 1st -8th grade students, upon evaluation and review of the registration packet, must meet all of the following criteria:

  • The student has the academic ability to be successful at MIS. To determine this, the admissions staff reviews standardized test scores, report card grades, and teacher recommendations. A student who is not passing all subjects may not be considered for admission.

  • The student has demonstrated history of appropriate motivation and effort. Determined by review of report card conduct/effort and teacher recommendation, the student must show attentiveness in class, consistently completed homework, and being prepared for class.

  • The student has consistently demonstrated cooperation with school rules and treats classmates and all school personnel with respect and kindness.  He/she has demonstrated good conduct and citizenship in class, halls, playground, cafeteria, on field trips, etc. A student who has been suspended or asked to leave any academic environment may not be considered for admission. To determine if a student meets this criterion, the admissions staff reviews the conduct and effort portion of the report card, teacher recommendations, observations of a student's behavior while on campus, and insights from the admissions interview.

Enrollment Information

Students selected for admission must send notice of intent, enrollment fees, and FACTS tuition agreement by the date listed in the Admissions Calendar.

Annual tithes to Mary Immaculate Catholic Church ensure parishioner status tuition.
