Selection Criteria

Students from the five boroughs of New York City are eligible to apply for admission. Students are selected through a competitive screening process. Admission is based on final 7th grade report cards for entering 9th grade students. Students must:

• Have a minimum overall average of 90%. (Students who have higher averages are much more likely to be selected.)
• Have a minimum standardized reading score of 90th percentile.
• Have a minimum standardized math score of 90th percentile.
• Have a record of excellent attendance and punctuality.
