Dear Students and Family Members: Now is the time for every 8th-grade student in Philadelphia to consider high school options for next school year. The Directory of High Schools provides an overview of all high schools in the School District of Philadelphia and a summary of each school's programs, the admissions requirements, and the academic expectations for each high school. The Directory of High Schools is just one tool to use in the high school decision-making process. To choose the best high school option, it is essential that students carefully consider their interests, career plans, standardized test scores, and grades. Students should talk to family members, school counselors, teachers, and other helpful school staff. It is also a good idea for students to visit prospective high schools and meet some of the students and staff there. Visit schoolselect.philasd.org to learn more. Students must complete the online application to apply for a School District of Philadelphia high school. Students can select up to five schools. The online application will launch Friday, September 20.
