Introduction

Welcome to the high school admissions process! As a resident of New York City, you
have more high school options available to you than if you lived in any other city
in the country. This exciting opportunity also requires a great deal of commitment
and responsibility. There are nearly 700 programs at over 400 high
schools to choose from—deciding exactly which ones meet your needs and interests
will be challenging.

This book contains information about public high schools in New York City and
detailed information about the admissions process.

You have an exciting task ahead of you. Just remember—the more research you do and
time you take to
consider the options available to you, the more prepared you will be when filling
out your high school
application.
How the High School Admissions Process Works
Round 1: Submit Your Application in December 2012
In Round 1 of the process, you will submit a high school application listing up to
12
programs of interest in priority order.

Admissions Methods: See page 8 for


more information.

Please list only programs on your application that you would be willing to attend.
You do
not have to tell schools where you ranked them on your application and schools are

placement in the match process.

Methods, Admissions Priorities, and seat availability.

Most students will be offered admission to one program from their high school
application. However, some students may not receive a Round 1 match; these students
will enter Round 2 of the high school admissions process.

Round 2: Submit Your Application in Spring 2013


All high school applicants can participate in Round 2, even if you received a match
in Round 1. Round 2
provides an opportunity for…
…students unhappy with their Round 1 match to re-apply. If you receive a match in
Round 2, it will
take the place of your Round 1 match.

…students who did not receive a match in Round 1 to submit a new application. If
you do not receive
a match in Round 1, you will automatically move on to Round 2 of the high school
admissions
process.

During Round 2, you can apply to the new small high schools opening in September
2013 (which were not
available in Round 1) and any other programs with available seats.

To apply in Round 2, you must submit an application in Spring 2013. As with Round
1, you will be matched to your highest possible choice subject to Admissions
Methods, Admissions Priorities, and seat availability.

By the end of Round 2, all students will have a high school match.

Specialized High Schools


If you also apply to any of the nine Specialized High Schools, you may receive more
than one high school offer. Please see page 5 for more information about the
Specialized High Schools admissions process.

Have Questions? Need Help?


If you need help filling out your application or have any questions about the high
school admissions process, your school guidance counselor is your best resource.
You also can call the Department of Education at
718-935-2399 or visit www.nyc.gov/schools/ChoicesEnrollment/High.

How to Use the High School Directory


High schools are listed in this Directory alphabetically by borough. Each borough’s
section is marked with a color indicator at the top of the page. There are a
variety of ways you can use this Directory to search for high schools:
School Location
School location is important!

Every borough section includes a map marking the location of each school in that
borough. It is
Visit each school you list on
extremely important to consider where schools are located in relation to your home.
We
recommend that you visit each school you list on your application—not only to get a
sense of
your application to test your
the school community, but also to test the commute.

commute.

You can find the best route from your home to a school by subway or bus on the
Metropolitan
Transportation Authority (MTA) website at www.mta.info.

School Name
Every borough section features an index on the reverse side of each map. Schools
within a borough are listed from A-Z, along with the corresponding Directory page
number.

There is a full alphabetical index of all schools (in all five boroughs) on pages
543-547 of this Directory.

Program Type
The full alphabetical index of all schools (pages 543-547) includes indicators for
certain types of high schools.

You can search for Career and Technical Education (CTE) Schools, International
Schools, Small Learning
Community (SLC) Schools, and Specialized High Schools by searching for the
appropriate symbol. For more
information about these types of programs, see pages 5-7.

Searching for Schools on the School Search Website


The New York City Department of Education website offers a School Search tool that
can help to narrow
down your high school choices. In addition to searching by location and school
name, you also can search by school size, site accessibility, interest area, school
type, and Admissions Method.
To use the School Search tool, visit www.nyc.gov/schools/schoolsearch and click on
Narrow Your Search. You will then be able to search for high schools using a
combination of the categories listed above.

Important Factors to Consider


As you are selecting high school programs, remember to discuss your selections with
your family and
guidance counselor to make sure your choices are a good fit for you. The following
questions may help you as you are preparing to submit your application:

Would I be happy with a match to any of the programs I’ve listed on my application,
even my 12th
choice?

What are the Admissions Methods for all of my program choices? Do I meet the
selection criteria, if
applicable?

What are the Admissions Priorities for all of my program choices? Am I eligible? Am
I in a favorable
priority group?

Did I choose a variety of programs (i.e., programs with different types of


Admissions Methods)?

How would I travel from my home to the schools to which I am applying? How long
would the trip
take me, and which trains/buses would be required for the trip? Do I have before-
or after-school
responsibilities that would make traveling to and from school difficult?

Do my program choices meet my academic needs?

Do my program choices have extracurricular activities, clubs, and sports that


interest me?

Types of High Schools


There are several different types of high schools and high school programs. Some of
these programs cater to specific interests and skills; some serve students who are
new to the country; and others focus on creating certain learning environments.

Specialized High Schools


Specialized High Schools offer a core liberal arts curriculum in addition to
courses in their area of
specialization.

The Specialized High Schools Student Handbook provides detailed information about
these schools, the application process, and the Specialized High Schools Admissions
Test (SHSAT), as well as a sample test. Ask your guidance counselor for a copy of
the Handbook.

Specialized High Schools Requiring the SHSAT


The following eight Specialized High Schools require that applicants take the SHSAT
and determine admission based on the SHSAT score: The Bronx High School of Science,
The Brooklyn Latin School, Brooklyn Technical High School, High School of
Mathematics, Science and Engineering at the City College, High School of
American Studies at Lehman College, Queens High School for the Sciences at York
College, Staten Island
Technical High School, and Stuyvesant High School.

Eighth and first-time ninth grade students who are residents of New York City are
eligible to
take the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test (SHSAT).

Remember: If you are interested in


applying to these eight schools,
If you want to apply to any of these eight schools, you must inform your guidance
you must inform your guidance
counselor in September 2012 that you want to take the SHSAT. Your counselor will
give
counselor in September 2012 that

test.

you want to take the SHSAT.

Important Note: On test day, you will need to rank your choices in priority order
on the
back of the SHSAT answer sheet. Preferences indicated on the answer sheet on test
day are
final and cannot be changed, so make sure you have discussed your choices with your
family and guidance counselor beforehand.

Specialized High School Requiring an Audition


Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts requires
prospective students to audition to seek admission; applicants do not need to take
the SHSAT to apply. Eighth and first-time ninth grade students who are residents of
New York City at the time of the audition are eligible to audition for one or more
of the following programs (or "studios"): Dance, Drama, Instrumental Music,
Technical Theatre, Fine Art, and/or Vocal Music.

More Information about Specialized High Schools


There are nine Specialized High Schools to which you can apply.

To find the Specialized Schools, look in the top-right corner of the school pages
for the Specialized School Indicator. You can also find the Specialized Schools by
reviewing the Index (pages 543-547) and looking for the  symbol.

For more information, obtain a copy of the Specialized High Schools Student
Handbook from your guidance counselor.

International Schools
International schools are designed to provide quality education for students who
are new to the country
through a unique educational model. International schools have specific eligibility
requirements; be sure to review them as you fill out your application.

There are 15 International Schools to which you can apply.

To find International Schools, look in the top-right corner of the school pages for
the International School Indicator. You can also find the International schools by

Types of High Schools


Career and Technical (CTE) Schools
Career and Technical Education programs integrate academic study with workforce
skills in specific careers.

Students receive instruction in an industry-related area and have the opportunity


to graduate from high
school with industry-specific competencies, credentials, and skills that lead to
post-secondary education, further industry training and/or entry into the work
force.

CTE Programs of Study differ from industry to industry but share common elements,
including:

High standards for graduation

A cohesive sequence of academic courses paired with CTE courses and integrated
content as
appropriate, arming students with core academic knowledge and specific technical
skills

Specific mechanisms that connect the entire high school program to a related
industry and post-
secondary pathway

Graduation with a recognized credential or certificate and specific articulation to


related post-
secondary opportunities
Why would I want to enroll in a CTE Program?

Students enroll in CTE programs because they wish to learn “hands-on” career skills
while earning a Regents Diploma to prepare for college, other higher education
studies and/or the workforce. In addition to school laboratory settings, students
enjoy opportunities to take part in internships, receive mentoring, and
participate in job shadowing and other industry-based, real-life experiences.

How do I find CTE Programs or CTE Schools?

CTE Programs: There are over 300 CTE programs of study and individual CTE elective
courses in high schools throughout the city.

For a comprehensive list of CTE programs of study, visit


www.nyc.gov/schools/ChoicesEnrollment/CTE or ask schools directly whether they have
any CTE offerings.

CTE Schools: In addition to CTE programs, there are designated CTE schools that
devote their entire instruction to CTE-related programs.

There are 37 CTE high schools to which you can apply.

To find CTE schools, look in the top-right corner of the school pages for the CTE
School Indicator. You can also find the CTE schools by reviewing the Index (pages
543-547) and looking for the „ symbol.

Innovation Zone (iZone) Schools


iZone schools incorporate innovative tools and strategies that organize the school
experience around the needs, motivations, and strengths of each individual student,
not simply the average student in New York City.

Teachers facilitate the learning process as students work at their own pace and in
ways that best suit their learning style, such as one-on-one with a teacher, in
small groups, in teacher-led environments, or through internships. Through iZone,
students are linked through technology with peers and experts across New York City
and around the world. Teachers have access to real-time data so they can provide
students with extra help, or more challenging material when needed. Strategies and
tools vary by school.

Interested parents or students should contact each school directly to learn more
about the programs that are offered.

For more information, including a list of iZone schools, visit the iZone website:
www.nyc.gov/schools/iZone.

Types of High Schools


Small Learning Community (SLC) Schools
A Small Learning Community (SLC) high school is focused on creating a personalized
learning environment for all students. SLC students receive the benefits of a large
high school while also developing close relationships with administrators,
teachers, support staff and other students.

The core group of teachers and other adults (including guidance counselors) within
each SLC knows the
needs, interests and aspirations of their students and closely monitor their
progress – providing the academic attention, enrichment and interventions that
students need to be successful in high school.

The curriculum in each SLC is structured around a theme or unifying principle that
adds relevance to
academic subjects. Small Learning Communities typically range from 250–500
students. There is one principal for the school, with each SLC led by an assistant
principal and SLC coordinator.
There are 20 SLC Schools to which you can apply.

To find SLC Schools, look in the top-right corner of the school pages for the SLC
School Indicator. You can also find the SLC schools by reviewing the Index (pages
543-547) and looking for the ٟ symbol.

For more information, visit the SLC website:


www.nyc.gov/schools/ChoicesEnrollment/SpecialPrograms/SLC.

Other High School Options


In addition to the types of high schools described here, there are a variety of
other programs that help to meet the needs and interests of every student. These
programs have a separate application process.

Information about how to apply for these schools is provided in more detail below:
Charter Schools
Charter Schools are independent public schools founded by not-for-profit Boards of
Trustees that operate under a five-year contract or “charter.” Many charter schools
have unique educational approaches that may include longer school days, a longer
school year, and/or thematic curriculum programs. Any student eligible for
admission to a traditional public school is eligible for admission to a public
charter school.

If the number of applicants exceeds the number of available seats, then an open,
non-discriminatory lottery must be held. Interested students or parents must
contact each charter school directly to receive an
application and follow the process for admission.

For a list of charter schools, please see the Appendix on page 541.

For more information about charter schools in New York City, visit
www.nyc.gov/schools/charters or call
(212) 374-5419. For information about particular charter schools, contact the
schools directly.

Transfer Schools
If you are 15 to 21 years old and have fallen behind in credits or left school for
an extended period of time, there are options to get you back on the track toward
graduation. Each transfer school determines
admissions criteria individually.

For a list of transfer schools, please see the Appendix on page 541.

Additional Ways to Graduate Directory


To learn more about other ways to earn your high school diploma or GED, see the
Additional Ways to
Graduate Directory, available here:

(212) 374-6025.

Types of Admissions Methods


Admissions Methods are the various processes schools use to consider applicants for
each program. When
researching schools, think about how you might need to prepare for programs to
which you would like to
apply. The eight Admissions Methods are each explained in more detail below:
Audition
Audition programs require you to demonstrate proficiency in a specific performing
arts/visual arts area.

Audition requirements, dates and times are included with the program. Some Audition
programs may also
review your attendance and academic grades. You must audition to be eligible for
admission.

Educational Option (Ed. Opt.)

Educational Option programs are meant to serve a wide range of academic performers.
Based on
standardized test reading scores from the prior school year, students will be
matched based on the
distribution below:
16% from the high reading level 68% from the middle reading level 16% from the low
reading level Half of the students matched to Ed. Opt. programs will be selected
based on candidate rankings from the
school; the other half will be selected randomly. If you score in the top 2% of all
students in the City on your previous year’s ELA reading exam, and you select an
Ed. Opt. program as your first choice on your
application, you are guaranteed a match to that program.

Limited Unscreened
Limited Unscreened programs give priority to students who demonstrate interest in
the school by attending a school information session or open house event, or by
visiting the school’s exhibit at any one of the High School Fairs. You must sign in
at these events to receive priority to the school’s program(s).

Screened
In Screened programs, students are ranked based on their final report card grades
from the prior school year, as well as reading and math standardized test scores.
Attendance and punctuality are also considered. You should review the Selection
Criteria listed for each screened program to determine how closely you fit the
criteria. Please note that there may also be other items that schools require to
screen applicants such as an interview, essay, or additional diagnostic test score.
The items will be listed in the program grid on the Directory page.

Screened for Language (Screened: Language)


Screened for Language programs focus on students with a minimum level of English
language
proficiency. Screened: Language programs include Bilingual, Dual Language, and
International. Interested students should review the Program Details and Admissions
Priorities to ensure they are applying to a
program that matches their home/native language. Priority is given to students
whose home/native language matches that of the individual program.

Test
Test schools/programs require students to take the Specialized High Schools
Admissions Test (SHSAT) for
entrance. For the Specialized High Schools requiring the SHSAT, only the test score
determines eligibility. For additional details, please review the Specialized High
Schools Student Handbook, or see page 5.

Unscreened
In Unscreened programs, students who apply are randomly selected.

Zoned
Zoned programs give priority to students who apply and live in the geographic zoned
area of the high school.

There are zoned high schools in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Staten Island and Queens;
Manhattan does not have any zoned high schools. To find out if you are zoned to a
high school, talk to your guidance counselor.

New York City Accountability


The New York City Department of Education has developed evaluation reports designed
to hold schools
accountable for student achievement. This Directory contains select data from these
reports.

Progress Report
Every fall, most schools receive a report and a letter grade measuring their
success in accelerating
student learning during the prior school year. The Progress Report measures each
school’s
contribution to student academic progress, no matter where each child begins his or
her journey to
graduation and postsecondary readiness.

The Progress Report grade, if applicable, will be represented by a letter grade of


A, B, C, D, or F.
NYC School Survey
Every year, all parents, teachers, and 6th–12th grade students are surveyed about
the learning
environment in their school and the results are provided to the school and the
public. Surveys focus
on four key aspects of a school’s learning environment: Safety and respect;
academic expectations;
communication; and parent, teacher, and student engagement.

The results of the School Survey are included in a school’s Progress Report grade,
so although you
will not see the results of the Survey explicitly outlined on the school’s page,
the results have been
factored into the Progress Report grade.

2
Quality Review
During the school year, many schools receive a two- or two-and-a-half-day on-site
review by
experienced educators. The Quality Review focuses on determining how well the
school is organized
to support student learning and achievement. The review includes meetings with
school leadership,
teachers, students, and parents, as well as classroom visits. The review process
focuses on the
quality of:

Instructional and organizational coherence

The gathering and analysis of data

Planning, setting goals and action plans

Capacity building through feedback and professional development

Structures for monitoring and revision


The results of the review are published online in a detailed report describing how
coherently the
school is organized for student success. A school must have had at least one
graduating class and
must not be phasing out in order to receive a Quality Review score.

The Quality Review score will be represented as an abbreviation:

New York City Accountability

Graduation Rate
Graduation rates are based on cohorts of students who entered ninth grade at the
same time.

Graduation rates for a given year indicate the percentage of students that entered
ninth grade four
years earlier who earned a diploma (Local or Regents) by the end of their fourth
year. For example, the
graduation rate for the 2009-2010 school year is based on students who entered
ninth grade in the
2006-2007 school year.

Students who earned either a Special Education (IEP) diploma or GED are excluded
from the graduation
rate, but students who graduated in the summer (during the month of August) are
included. Graduation rates reported here match those reported in a school’s
Progress Report.

The graduation rate will be represented by a percentage (%).

4
College Enrollment Rate
Similar to graduation rates, college enrollment rates are based on cohorts of
students who entered
ninth grade at the same time. The college enrollment rate is based on the
percentage of students who
graduate in four years and enroll in a degree program at a two- or four-year
college/university by the
end of the calendar year in which they graduate.

For example, the college enrollment rate for the 2009-2010 school year is based on
students who
entered ninth grade in 2006-2007 and enrolled in college by December 31, 2010. Each
year’s Progress
Report includes the college enrollment rate for students from the prior year; for
example, the 2010-
2011 Progress Report includes the college enrollment rate for 2009-2010 graduates.

The college enrollment rate will be represented by a percentage (%).

If you have any questions, about New York City’s accountability reports, talk to
your school’s parent
coordinator or visit www.nyc.gov/schools/accountability.

New York State Accountability


The New York State Education Department (NYSED) also determines the accountability
status of schools
based on its own set of measures. For more information about New York State
Accountability, visit the NYSED
website: www.p12.nysed.gov/accountability.

Public School Choice (PSC) Transfer Program


In accordance with the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), students who attend
schools identified by the New York State Education Department as low-performing
must be provided with the opportunity to
request a transfer, after attending for one year, to a school not identified as
low-performing.
For more information about the Public School Choice Program, please visit
www.nyc.gov/schools/NCLB or
email NCLB_PSC@schools.nyc.gov. If you have any questions or concerns as you select
a high school, please speak with your school’s guidance counselor.

Special Education Services


Students with disabilities may apply to all schools and/or programs listed in this
Directory, subject to the same admissions requirements as their peers. They may
take the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test
(SHSAT) and apply for all audition programs.

Once a student is accepted to a high school, the Individualized Education Program


(IEP) team at the school may convene to develop a plan that will meet the special
education needs of the child at that school. High school students receiving
Integrated Co-Teaching (ICT) or Special Class services do not necessarily attend
class together each period of the day.

Students whose IEPs recommend a specialized District 75 program do not participate


in the high school
admissions process. These students are notified of their high school placement in
May or June by their
District 75 schools.

For more information, visit www.nyc.gov/schools/Academics/SpecialEducation.

Site Accessibility Information


Each school’s Directory page indicates the Site Accessibility status of that
school. There are three different Site Accessibility designations used in this
Directory:
Functionally Accessible
A student who uses a wheelchair can, without difficulty, enter the building and
access relevant
programs and services.

Partially Accessible
The school is functionally accessible beyond the first floor, but not for all
relevant spaces and
services in the school.

Not Accessible
The school does not fall into either of the above-noted accessibility descriptions.

Federal law requires that all programs, when reviewed in their entirety, are
accessible. The word “program”
in this policy statement means a program, activity or service. This policy
statement is a general summary of applicable law and does not create any additional
legal rights or obligation. For specific detail, see Title II of the Americans with
Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

For more information about Site Accessibility in New York City public schools,
refer to the document List of Accessible Schools:
www.nyc.gov/schools/Academics/SpecialEducation/TellMeMore/ImportantDocuments.

English Language Learners


The Department of Education provides a range of programs and supports to ensure
that English Language
Learners (ELLs) receive the language-based services necessary to excel in high
school. Schools must inform parents of the three program models in New York City
whether or not the parent’s preferred model is
currently offered in the school.

Schools are expected to open a bilingual program when the minimum number of
families has selected it on
the ELL Program Selection Form. Therefore, it is essential that parents/guardians
indicate their preferred choice of program when completing the ELL Program
Selection Form at their school’s parent orientation
meeting. Parents, not schools, determine which ELL programs are offered at schools.

Each school’s Directory page lists the ELL services available. For the most up-to-
date information regarding English Language Learners Programs, please contact the
schools directly. ELL program models are as follows: Transitional Bilingual
Education (TBE)
Transitional Bilingual Education (TBE) programs provide both language arts and
subject matter
instruction in the student’s native language and in English as well as intensive
instruction in English
as a Second Language (ESL). As the student develops English proficiency,
instruction in English
increases and native language instruction decreases.

Dual Language (DL)


Dual Language programs educate ELL students in need of English language instruction
alongside
English-speaking students who are interested in learning a second language.
Programs continue to
develop ELLs’ native language and English language skills throughout their
schooling while enabling
English-speaking students to become bilingual as well. Both groups act as good
linguistic role models
for each other, and through their interactions they support language development in
both
languages. Students receive half of their instruction in English and half in the
target language.

English as a Second Language (ESL)


Freestanding English as a Second Language (ESL) programs provide all classroom
instruction in
language arts and subject matters in English through the use of specific
instructional strategies.

Native language support is available to help students accelerate their


understanding in subject areas.

Native language assistance is supported by activities such as encouraging students


to discuss subject
matter with peers in the native language, allowing students to use the native
language to write
explanations of what they understand, and making native language textbooks,
libraries, dictionaries,
reference materials, and technology resources available for students to use in the
classroom.

The Department of Education focuses on strengthening all three program models so


that they are
academically challenging and delivered uniformly across our high schools.

For more information about services for English Language Learners (ELL), call 212-
374-6072 or visit
www.nyc.gov/schools/Academics/ELL.

Continuing Eighth Grade Students


Eighth grade students who apply to their current school for the ninth grade will be
guaranteed a placement, regardless of the admissions method(s) in their current
school.

Private and Parochial School Students


Eighth and ninth grade private and parochial school students who are residents of
New York City are eligible to participate in the high school admissions process.
These students participate in the same way as their public school peers; that is,
they submit an application and receive results through their school, and they
follow the same schedule and protocol that is outlined for all students.

Here are a few special items of note for private and parochial school students:

Work directly with your school counselor throughout the admissions process. All
information and
documentation is distributed through your school, including the high school
application, Specialized
Make sure you receive
High Schools Admissions Test (SHSAT) registration and ticket, LaGuardia High School
Audition
an application receipt!

registration and ticket, and all admissions results.

You should receive an application receipt from your school by early January. This
receipt is a
confirmation of all information entered on the application, as well as any
information related to a
zoned high school, if relevant. Make sure your name and address are correct on the
receipt.

Respond to all offers/matches by the Department of Education deadlines through your


school.

For additional support, call the Department of Education at 718-935-2399.

First-time Ninth Grade Students


First-time ninth grade students are eligible to participate in the high school
admissions process to be
considered for a tenth grade seat in another high school.

These students follow the same process and timeline as their eighth grade
counterparts. Students must ask their high school guidance counselor for an
application in the fall and must submit a completed application by the deadline
established by their school.

It is important to remember that not all high schools or their programs offer tenth
grade seats. This Directory indicates programs that offer tenth grade seats under
the “Programs Offered” heading.

Students should only list program codes that offer tenth grade seats on the high
school application. Ninth grade students who receive a match to another high school
must accept the match or may opt to remain in
their current school.

Important Note
The information listed in this Directory is accurate at the time of publication but
may be subject to change.

For the most up-to-date information about academic programs, extracurricular


activities, and other offerings, contact schools directly.

educationally and socially in making the transition from middle school to high
school by having a guidance counselor monitor and support each student’s progress.
Reduced class size, extended day programs and summer credit accumulation classes
will also support the students. Our teachers and an exciting interdisciplinary
curriculum provide a rich instructional experience with additional literacy support
and extended day services. We are committed to preparing students for timely
graduation and entry into college or careers. At the end of 9th grade, all students

Every year, the cover of this Directory is designed by a student in one of New York
City’s public high schools. The Cover Design Competition, a collaboration between
the Department of Education and Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, encourages
participants to reflect on their lives as public school students in New York City
and express their ideas artistically in the form of a cover design.

More than 200 talented artists sent in submissions this year. From these entries,
fifteen finalists were selected to participate in graphic design workshops with
award-winning designer and comic book artist Phil Jimenez. Our final winners were
chosen through both a public vote and a panel of judges.

Congratulations to our 2012 Cover Design Competition winners!
