Does Red Mountain Community School accept the CHOOSE Act ESA?

Yes. Red Mountain Community School is on the Alabama Department of Revenue's CHOOSE Act participating-school list dated October 23, 2026, so a participating student's $7,000 ESA can pay its tuition and approved fees through ClassWallet.

The award is the same for every grade from K5 through 12; for 2027-28 there is no household income test, though priority groups are served first if money runs short.

What does the federal record say about Red Mountain Community School?

The federal Private School Survey (2023-24) reports 68 students and 13 full-time-equivalent teachers in grades PK-12.

Membership in an association is not the same as accreditation; ALDOR decides accreditation status for the CHOOSE Act.

How do families usually pay at Red Mountain Community School?

Independent schools set their own aid. Ask what the balance is after the ESA, and which of the school's fees are on the approved list. The school enrolls pre-K children; the ESA starts at K5, so ask whether it hosts a First Class Pre-K classroom or accepts DHR child care subsidies.
