Geographic Priorities and Eligibility 


Screened Programs
High school programs that use the “screened” admissions method have the option to continue using this admissions method for the current school year, with the following changes:​​

  • Screened programs that used “internal assessments” (interviews, academic portfolios, school-administered exams, and online admissions activities, this does not include auditions) in the past have the option to continue using their internal assessment for the current school year. Screened programs that did not use internal assessments in the past cannot begin using internal assessments this year. 


Educational Option (Ed. Opt.) Programs

  • This year high schools will use a composite score of students’ prior years’ performance in the four core courses: English, math, science, social studies.​

  • Based on this composite score, students will be assigned an Ed. Opt. category, and a proportional number of offers will be made to applicants from each category for each individual Ed. Opt. program: 

    • The top third of students citywide will be in the “High” category. One third of offers to each Ed. Opt. program will be made to applicants in the “High” category. 

    • The middle third of students citywide will be in the “Middle” category. One third of offers to each Ed. Opt. program will be made to applicants in the “Middle” category. 

    • The bottom third of students citywide will be in the “Low” category. One third of offers to each Ed. Opt. program will be made to applicants in the “Low” category.
