Note: In New York City, students in 8th Grade have three possible pathways for admissions to public high schools, and they may apply to schools in one, two or three of the categories described here:

(1) “Academic” high schools (screened or unscreened) Each has its own criteria for selection, in addition to grades, state test scores and attendance records. Through a DOE-matching algorithm, every student can only be accepted to only ONE school in this category.

(2) “Specialized High Schools” The sole admission criteria is the student’s score on the citywide SHSAT entrance exam that is offered in Fall of 8th Grade. Approximately 30,000 NYC students take the SHSAT exam each year, and roughly 8,000 of those students gain admission to one of the Specialized High Schools on their ranked list.

(3) The “Performing Arts” schools Requires auditions or the submission of an arts-based portfolio in addition to grades, state test scores and attendance records.
