How are students enrolled in Caprock Academy?
As a public school, Caprock Academy is open to any student living in Mesa County Valley School District 51. However, final enrollment will be determined by a lottery process dependent upon the number of openings available.

opportunity to attend Caprock Academy. If one student is selected, their
siblings will have a preference for enrollment.
