Admissions Process
How the High School Admissions Process Works
Every eligible student is assured entrance into one of the New York City public high schools.
To file an application and participate in the high school admissions process, a student must be:
an eighth or first-time ninth grader
and a resident of New York City
In order to get the most out of the high school admissions process, students should work with their parents and counselors to research their options and apply to the programs of greatest interest to them. Students can rank up to 12 programs on their application (some high schools have more than one program to which eighth graders may apply). If a student wishes to attend his or her zoned high school, he or she must list the zoned programs of that high school as one of the choices on his or her application. All students must submit their high school applications by the deadline.
