2. Floyd County Early College Academy Admissions Process Enrollment in the Academy is open to all our students and is a competitive process. Acceptance is based upon an eight part scoring rubric or guide that is heavily weighted toward academic performance and attendance. We believe that students who can demonstrate past academic success and who realize the importance of being in school every day have the best chance for success in the demanding academy environment. Applications will be scored by a scoring committee comprised of FCS staff. Here’s an overview of the values.
