During the selection process, we focus on students applying to enter the 5th grade who have untapped potential. (We do not accept applications for the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades) We strive to recruit students from all academic levels, ranging from gifted to those who have academic challenges. The Ron Clark Academy is inclusive, benefiting students regardless of gender, race, socio-economic status or religion.
