NYC High School Admissions Changes

1/17/2021

0 Comments

 
High school applications open the week of January 18, 2021, with the deadline to apply coming during the week of February 22, 2021.

The SHSAT, the entrance exam that determines admission to eight of the city's nine specialized high schools, will be administered to students in their local middle schools, though parents will need to register their children. Registration for that opens Monday, December 21, 2020, and closes Friday, January 15, 2021. 

Unlike middle schools, high school's geographic admissions priorities are being phased out over a two-year period. For this admission cycle, district priorities have been eliminated; geographic priorities, like borough residency requirements, can still be utilized but will be eliminated in the 2022-23 admissions cycle.
High schools can also rely on admission screens, utilizing a combination of 2018-19 test scores, previous years' grades, or other measures determined by each school. Schools must post their full admissions rubric online.

Auditions for performing arts high schools have shifted online, too. Students can produce one audition piece to submit to multiple schools. 

How to Apply to NYC's Public Schools
All families must set up a MySchools Account to process applications, whether applying to 3K or high school or any grade in between. Questions about the process can be addressed by your child's current school, by reaching out to the Family Welcome Center in your home district, or by calling 311.

NYC Middle School Admissions Changes

The middle school application opens the week of January 11, 2021, and closes the week of February 8, 2021. While middle schools can provide geographic priority for in-district students to keep younger kids closer to home, all other admissions priorities must be dropped for this admissions cycle. Schools with more applications than available seats will utilize a lottery system to determine which students receive offers.
The removal of screens will be reevaluated prior to the next admissions cycle and affects 196 schools citywide that use some sort of screening in their admissions process.
