ADMISSIONS RUBRIC - 2022-2023

Last admissions cycle, the New York City Department of Education (DOE) middle schools did not use academic records, auditions, or other screens or assessments to evaluate or admit students. Offers were made using a random lottery.

We do not currently have any information regarding the admissions rubric for 2022-2023.

You will receive your child’s Middle Grades offer from the Department of Education in March. You will be able to log into your MySchools account to see the results, and you will receive a letter by mail. Visit the Department of Education’s Middle School Admission webpage to learn more.
