Additional information may be required by individual schools and must be submitted to those schools by the application deadline as part of the application process.
Eligibility may be determined by such factors as skill, talent, academic performance, conduct, written essay, and interest.
Preference is given to eligible applicants with siblings currently attending and who will be in attendance at the same magnet school during the school year for which the student is applying.
Siblings will be accepted based upon the availability of open seats in the grade level for which the student is applying. Sibling preference does not apply to students applying for Visual & Performing Arts programs.
When the number of eligible student applicants, other than Visual & Performing Arts, exceeds the number of seats available, a random selection process will be utilized to admit eligible applicants.
Failure to respond to an offer of acceptance by the specified deadline will be interpreted as a parent/guardian decline of program acceptance.
