Interested in Joining the Jones Community?
We're glad you're considering Jones College Prep as the next step in your high school journey!
Jones considers transfer applications from students entering 10th, 11th, or 12th grade. Because transfer opportunities depend on available space, the number of students we can welcome each year is limited. Transfer applications are reviewed based on several factors, including a student's academic record, school attendance, conduct, and successful completion of the current school year.
Transfer Eligibility Requirements
To be considered for a transfer to Jones, students must meet the following criteria:-
Academic Performance: Maintain a minimum 3.0 unweighted GPA and demonstrate success in a rigorous academic curriculum.
-
Attendance: Have a strong record of school attendance.
-
Student Conduct: Have no suspensions or major disciplinary infractions.
-
Good Standing: Be in good standing at their current school.
-
Jones Values: Demonstrate alignment with the Jones College Prep mission and Graduate-at-Graduation (Grad-at-Grad) values.
-
Grade Level: Be entering 10th, 11th, or 12th grade.
Important to Know
Meeting the minimum eligibility requirements does not guarantee admission. Transfer decisions are dependent on available openings and a review of each applicant's qualifications.
