Thank you for your interest in St. John Catholic School. Please download an application and call our office to set up an appointment to begin the process. 

The Catholic schools in the Diocese of Oakland, mindful of their mission to be witnesses to the love of Christ for all, admit students of any race, color, and national and/or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the schools.

The Catholic schools in the Diocese of Oakland do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and/or ethnic origin, age, sex, or disability in the administration of educational policies, scholarships and loan programs, and athletic and other school administered programs. (D.H. 5110)

St. John Catholic School will adhere to the policy that every person, as a child of God, regardless of race, condition, or age has equal dignity and an inalienable right to an education. Therefore, no qualified student will be denied admission to this school on the basis of sex, race, color, or national origin.


The application process gives us the opportunity to learn more about each other. We expect every child to achieve success and we take great care to make sure that we begin our partnership with clear expectations.

Upon application, the following are considered in the acceptance of Pre-Kindergarten through 7th grade:
  1. Results of the applicant’s screening test.
  2. Information obtained from the applicant’s present school.
  3. Information obtained from the applicant’s completed application/attachments.
  4. Availability of space in the grade to which the applicant is applying.
  5. Additional TK criteria:
    1. TK applicants must be four (4) years old by September 1.
    2. TK applicants must be independent in toileting.
  6. Additional kindergarten criteria:
    1. Kindergarten applicants must be five (5) years old by September 1.
    2. Kindergarten applicants must demonstrate they are developmentally and emotionally ready for a full-day kindergarten with a ratio as high as 17:1 as determined by the screening test.
St. John Catholic School may recommend the gift of a year if a child is not ready for our program. Students who are not accepted to our kindergarten program may be better served with a transitional kindergarten (TK) program to prepare for academic, emotional, and developmental readiness, and and are invited to reapply for kindergarten the following year.

The priority for admission into St. John Catholic School for TK through 7th grade applicants is as follows:
  1. Siblings of children currently enrolled in the school
  2. Children from families who are active parishioners at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church
  3. Children of alumni and legacy families
  4. Interested applicants from other Catholic parishes
  5. Interested applicants who are not Catholic
Active parishioner is defined by regular attendance at weekend mass and financial support of our parish through contributions using family envelopes. We support and advocate a positive and cooperative effort between parish, school, and family.​
