Admission Process for Initial Point High School

2026-2027 Admission Update

Applications for the current 2025-2026 school year are now closed. While we are at capacity, we may review our current waitlist should any limited openings become available for the start of Quarter 4. If you are currently on the waitlist, please ensure your contact information is up to date.

Looking Ahead: 2026-2027 School Year

The application for the 2026-2027 school year will go live on March 13, 2026.

We strongly encourage families to apply early. Please note that our waitlist does not roll over from year to year; therefore, all interested families—including those currently on the 2025-2026 waitlist—must submit a new application to be considered for the upcoming fall semester.

Important Dates & Timeline

  • March 13: 2026-2027 Application Opens.

  • Late April – Early May: Intake interviews begin for the new school year.

  • August: Final enrollment availability for incoming Freshmen is determined.


Prioritization of Admission

Initial Point High School is committed to serving students with the highest level of academic need. To ensure we are supporting those closest to their educational goals, admission is not processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Instead, we prioritize applicants based on the following criteria:

  • Credit Deficiency: Students who are significantly behind in the credits required for graduation.

  • Graduation Proximity: Students approaching their graduation deadline who require an alternative setting to complete their diploma.

  • At-Risk Criteria: The number of qualifying factors met under Idaho Department of Education guidelines.

Note on Freshman Enrollment: To prioritize students closest to graduation, we typically determine remaining seat availability for the incoming Freshman class in August. We appreciate your patience as we work to accommodate as many students as possible within our specialized learning environment.
