Welcome to the Middle School Choice Process!
This Middle School Directory will help you learn about the middle school choice process and the school
options available to your child for the 2013-2014 school year.
Part 1: Learn About Middle School Choice
How the Middle School Choice Process Works
In order to participate in the middle school choice process, you must submit a Middle School Choice
Application by the deadline in the fall. The application will be customized for your child and will include all of
the middle school choices for which your child is eligible. On the application, you will rank all middle schools
your child is interested in attending in order of preference.
Students residing in New York City who have met promotional standards from elementary school admissions
are assured entrance into a New York City public middle school. Your child will be matched to your highest
possible choice taking into consideration Admissions Methods, eligibility restrictions and priorities, and seat
availability.
Most students will be offered admission to one program ranked on their Middle School Choice Application. If
your child does not receive an offer to attend one of the schools ranked on his or her application, s/he will
receive a placement in either (1) the district where s/he attends public elementary school; or (2) the district
to which s/he is zoned to attend middle school.
Eligibility and Admissions Priorities
All students are eligible for admission to middle school in the district where they are zoned to attend middle
school and/or in the district where they attend a New York City public elementary school.
Boroughwide Middle School Choice Options
In addition to the district middle schools listed in this Directory, there are also choice middle schools open to
all students and residents of Brooklyn. These schools may be located outside of your district, so be sure to
check the Address and “Before You Apply” section on the school pages.
Citywide Middle School Choice Option
There is one Citywide middle school that is part of the choice process: Mark Twain for the Gifted & Talented
(I.S. 239). For more information about how to apply to this school, please see Appendix A on page 31.
Have Questions? Need Help?
If you need help with your application or have any questions about the middle school admissions process,
speak to your middle school liaison or call the Department of Education at 718-935-2398.

Part 2: Learn How to Use This Directory
How to Search for Middle Schools
You can search for middle school programs in a variety of ways:
School Location
This Directory includes a map indicating the location of all the middle schools in this district on page 13. The
map includes all types of middle schools in the district, including choice application schools, schools that
require a school-based application, zoned schools (if applicable), and charter schools (if applicable).
There is also a map indicating the boroughwide and Citywide options available to your child (see page 14).
It is extremely important to consider where schools are located in relation to your home.
Make sure to research travel options available to your child for schools you rank on your Middle School
Choice Application, particularly the train and bus routes that would be necessary. Check that you would feel
comfortable with your child’s commute. A summary of pupil transportation information is below; please note
that the transportation offered by charter schools varies by school.
Pupil Transportation
The Department of Education offers transportation to middle school students based on this criteria:
Students in 6th Grade are provided with free transportation if they live 1 mile or more from
school; if they live closer than that but more than ½ mile from school, a half-fare MTA bus pass is
provided.
Free transportation is provided as either a yellow bus or a MetroCard.
Students receive yellow busing if (i) their school has bus service, (ii) they live in the
same school district as their school, and (iii) a bus can pick them up, along with 10
other students, on a route of no more than 5 miles.
Students in 7th Grade and Above are provided with MetroCards if they live 1-½ miles
or more from school; if they live closer than that but more than ½ mile from school, a half-fare MTA
bus pass is provided.
For more information about student transportation, call the Office of Pupil Transportation (OPT) at
(718) 392-8855 or visit www.nyc.gov/schools/offices/transportation.
School Name
Schools are listed alphabetically in this Directory. To search for a school by its name, consult the Table of
Contents for the corresponding school page number.
School Search Website
The New York City Department of Education website offers a School Search tool that can help to narrow
down your middle school choices.

Part 3: Get More Information About Your Choices
Other Middle School Options
In addition to the schools listed in this Directory, there are other middle school options for which your child
may be eligible. These schools have a separate application and admissions process than the one described on
page 1 and will not be listed on your Middle School Choice Application:
Middle Schools with School-Based Applications
Some middle schools conduct a school-based application process. For a list of middle schools with schoolbased applications, including all available district, borough-wide, and Citywide options, please see Appendix B
on page 32.
If you are interested in applying to any of these schools, contact those schools directly to learn more about
the admissions process.
Charter Schools
Charter Schools are independent public schools founded by not-for-profit Boards of Trustees that operate
under a five-year contract or “charter.” Many charter schools have unique educational approaches that may
include longer school days, a longer school year, and/or thematic curriculum programs. Any student eligible
for admission to a traditional public school is eligible for admission to a public charter school.
If the number of applicants exceeds the number of available seats, then an open, non-discriminatory lottery
must be held. Interested students or parents must contact each charter school directly to receive an
application and follow the process for admission.
For a list of charter schools in this district that will have a grade 6 by the 2013-2014 school year, see Appendix
C on page 34. Please note that only some of these schools accept incoming sixth graders; for the most up-todate admissions information, contact the schools directly.
For more information about charter schools in New York City, see the Directory of New York City Charter
Schools, available at enrollment offices (see inside back cover) and online at www.nyc.gov/schools/charters,
or call (212) 374-5419. For information about particular charter schools, contact the schools directly.
Middle School Events
This fall, you will have multiple opportunities to learn more about the middle schools in your district.
Middle School Fairs
In October, there will be a middle school fair for your district. At the fair, you will be able to meet school
representatives from multiple schools and ask questions about specific offerings. Information about your
middle school fair will be available from your elementary school and online at
www.nyc.gov/schools/ChoicesEnrollment/middle.
School Open Houses
In addition to the middle school fair, many schools offer open house events where you and your child can
take a tour of the school and meet school staff.
Attend open house events and take tours at the middle schools that interest you most. Before you visit, you
should prepare a series of questions for school representatives regarding the school culture, course offerings,
and extracurriculars.
For information about school open houses and/or school tours, contact middle schools of interest directly.
Page 5
Types of Admissions Methods
Each middle school program has an Admissions Method, which indicates the way students are admitted to
that program.
As you are researching middle schools and considering Admissions Methods, be sure to also check each
program’s Selection Criteria for additional admissions information. The seven Admissions Methods are each
explained in more detail below:
Audition
Audition programs require you to demonstrate proficiency in a specific performing arts/visual arts area. Some
Audition programs may also review your attendance and academic grades. Contact the school for audition
requirements, dates and times. You must audition to be eligible for admission.
Limited Unscreened
Limited Unscreened programs give priority to students who demonstrate interest in the school by attending a
school information session or open house event, or by visiting the school’s exhibit at the Middle School Fair.
You must sign in at these events to receive priority to the school’s Limited Unscreened program(s).
Screened
In Screened programs, students are ranked by the school based on a range of factors which may include final
report card grades from the prior school year, reading and math standardized test scores, and attendance
and punctuality. You should review the Selection Criteria listed for each Screened program to determine how
closely you fit the criteria. There may also be other requirements that schools use to screen applicants such
as an interview, essay, teacher recommendation, or additional diagnostic test. These requirements, if
applicable, will be listed on the school’s Directory page.
Screened: Language
Screened: Language programs focus on students with a minimum level of English language
proficiency. Screened: Language programs include Bilingual, Dual Language, and International
models. Interested students should review the Selection Criteria section to ensure they are applying to a
program that matches their home/native language. Priority is given to English Language Learners (ELLs),
participants of elementary-level Dual Language and Transitional Bilingual programs in the target language,
and heritage speakers of the target language.
Test
Test programs base admission on students’ exam performance. The exam requirements vary by school
district, but may include taking the Otis-Lennon School Ability Test (OLSAT) as part of the admissions process,
participating in talent testing in specified talent areas, and/or assessing the students’ performance on the
Grade 4 New York State English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics examinations. Testing details will be
listed on the school’s Directory page.
Unscreened
In Unscreened programs, students who apply are randomly selected. If there are priority groups within an
Unscreened program, students will be selected randomly within those groups.
Zoned
Zoned programs give priority to students who apply and live in the geographic zoned area of the middle
school. To find out if you are zoned to a middle school, talk to your school’s middle school liaison.

New York City Accountability
The New York City Department of Education has developed evaluation reports designed to hold schools
accountable for student achievement. This Middle School Directory contains select data from these reports.

Progress Report
Every fall, most schools receive a Progress Report measuring their success in meeting performance standards
on state exams, accelerating student learning, and promoting an academically rigorous and safe school
environment during the prior school year. The Progress Report focuses on each school’s contribution to
student academic progress, no matter where each child begins his or her journey to proficiency and beyond.
The Progress Report grade, if applicable, will be represented by a letter grade of A, B, C, D, or F.
NYC School Survey
Every year, all parents, teachers, and 6th–12th grade students are surveyed about the learning environment
in their school and the results are provided to the school and the public. Surveys focus on four key aspects of
a school’s learning environment: Safety and respect; academic expectations; communication; and parent,
teacher, and student engagement.
The results of the School Survey are included in a school’s Progress Report grade, so although you will not see
the results of the Survey explicitly outlined on the school pages, the results have been factored into the
Progress Report grade.
2
Quality Review
The Quality Review is a two- to two-and-a-half-day on-site review conducted by experienced educators that
assesses how well a school is organized to support student achievement. The review includes meetings with
school leaders, teachers, students and parents, and classroom visits in grades 7-12. The review process
focuses on the quality of:
Classroom Instruction
School Culture
Structures for School Improvement
The results of the review are published online in a detailed report describing how coherently the school is
organized for student success. A school must have had at least one graduating class and must not be phasing
out in order to receive a Quality Review score.
Please note that these reviews are not necessarily annual; the scores listed in this Directory reflect the most
recent Quality Review. Quality Review scores from years prior to 2009-2010 are marked with an asterisk.
The Quality Review scores indicated in this Directory are as follows:

If you have any questions, about New York City’s accountability reports, talk to your school’s parent coordinator
or visit www.nyc.gov/schools/accountability.

New York State Accountability
The New York State Education Department (NYSED) also determines the accountability status of schools
based on its own set of measures. For more information about New York State Accountability, visit the NYSED
website: www.p12.nysed.gov/accountability.
Public School Choice (PSC) Transfer Program
In accordance with the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), students who attend schools identified by
the New York State Education Department as low-performing must be provided with the opportunity to
request a transfer, after attending for one year, to a school not identified as low-performing.
For more information about the Public School Choice Program, visit www.nyc.gov/schools/NCLB or email
[email protected]. If you have any questions or concerns as you select a middle school, please
speak with your school’s middle school liaison.
Part 4: Students with Special Needs
Special Education Services
Students with disabilities may apply to all schools and/or programs listed in this Directory, subject to the
same admissions requirements as their general education peers. They may take the Otis-Lennon School
Ability Test (OLSAT) in eligible districts and apply for all audition programs.
Once a student is accepted to a middle school, the Individualized Education Program (IEP) team at the school
may convene to develop a plan that will meet the special education needs of the child at that school. Middle
school students receiving Integrated Co-Teaching (ICT) or Special Class services do not necessarily attend class
together each period of the day.
Students whose IEPs recommend a specialized District 75 program do not participate in the middle school
admissions process. These students are notified of their middle school placement in May or June by their
District 75 schools.
For more information, visit www.nyc.gov/schools/Academics/SpecialEducation.
Site Accessibility Information
Each school’s Directory page indicates the Site Accessibility status of that school. There are three different
Site Accessibility designations used in this Directory:
Functionally Accessible
A student who uses a wheelchair can, without difficulty, enter the building and access relevant programs and
services.
Partially Accessible
The school is functionally accessible beyond the first floor, but not for all relevant spaces and services in the
school.
Not Accessible
The school does not fall into either of the above-noted accessibility descriptions.
Federal law requires that all programs, when reviewed in their entirety, are accessible. The word “program”
in this policy statement means a program, activity or service. This policy statement is a general summary of
applicable law and does not create any additional legal rights or obligation. For specific detail, see Title II of
the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
For more information about Site Accessibility in New York City public schools, refer to the document List of
Accessible Schools: www.nyc.gov/schools/Academics/SpecialEducation/TellMeMore/ImportantDocuments.
Page 8
English Language Learners
The Department of Education provides a range of programs and supports to ensure that English Language
Learners (ELLs) receive the language-based services necessary to excel in middle school. Schools must inform
parents of the three program models in New York City whether or not the parent’s preferred model is
currently offered in the school.
Schools are expected to open a bilingual program when the minimum number of families has selected it on
the ELL Program Selection Form. Therefore, it is essential that parents/guardians indicate their preferred
choice of program when completing the ELL Program Selection Form at their school’s parent orientation
meeting. Parents, not schools, determine which ELL programs are offered at schools.
Each school’s Directory page lists the ELL services available. For the most up-to-date information regarding
English Language Learners Programs, please contact the schools directly. ELL program models are as follows:
Transitional Bilingual Education (TBE)
Transitional Bilingual Education (TBE) programs provide both language arts and subject matter instruction in
the student’s native language and in English as well as intensive instruction in English as a Second Language
(ESL). As the student develops English proficiency, instruction in English increases and native language
instruction decreases.
Dual Language (DL)
Dual Language programs educate ELL students in need of English language instruction alongside Englishspeaking students who are interested in learning a second language. Programs continue to develop ELLs’
native language and English language skills throughout their schooling while enabling English-speaking
students to become bilingual as well. Both groups act as good linguistic role models for each other, and
through their interactions they support language development in both languages. Students receive half of
their instruction in English and half in the target language.
English as a Second Language (ESL)
Freestanding English as a Second Language (ESL) programs provide all classroom instruction in language arts
and subject matters in English through the use of specific instructional strategies. Native language support is
available to help students accelerate their understanding in subject areas. Native language assistance is
supported by activities such as encouraging students to discuss subject matter with peers in the native
language, allowing students to use the native language to write explanations of what they understand, and
making native language textbooks, libraries, dictionaries, reference materials, and technology resources
available for students to use in the classroom.
The Department of Education focuses on strengthening all three program models so that they are
academically challenging and delivered uniformly across our middle schools.
For more information about services for English Language Learners (ELL), call 212-374-6072 or visit
www.nyc.gov/schools/Academics/ELL.

Part 5: Learn How to Complete Your Application
Tips and Reminders
It is a good idea to discuss your middle school selections with your child and your child’s middle school liaison
before filling out your application. As you are ranking schools on your application, keep these tips and
reminders in mind:
Your child’s Middle School Choice Application has all of his/her options printed on it already. Do not
write in programs; they will not be considered.
You can rank as many programs you want, but you do not need to rank all of them. Rank only
programs you want your child to attend.
Your child is not guaranteed a spot at the schools you rank on your application. If your child does not
receive an offer at one of your ranked schools, your child will receive a placement in either the
district of your child’s current elementary school or the district to which your child is zoned to attend
middle school.
Remember, you may also apply to middle schools with school-based applications (see page 32) and
charter schools (see page 34). These types of schools run their own admissions process and will not
be listed on your Middle School Choice Application; contact these schools directly for more
information.
Continuing 5th Grade Students
5th grade students currently attending a K-8 or K-12 school have priority to continue to 6th grade. In order to
receive this priority, you must rank your child’s current school as one of your choices on the Middle School
Choice Application.
You do not need to rank your child’s current continuing school as your #1 choice in order to receive the
priority, but be sure to include it in your ranked programs according to your actual preference.
For example, if the middle school program you most want is a Screened: Academic program, rank that before
your current continuing school; if you rank the current continuing school first, you will be matched there and
not considered for the other programs you rank on your application.
Zoned Students
Students who are zoned to a middle school – or a campus containing multiple middle schools – have priority
to attend that school or schools. In order to receive this priority, you must rank your child’s zoned school(s)
on the Middle School Choice Application.
th
As with the Continuing 5 Graders priority, you do not need to rank your child’s zoned school(s) as your #1
choice in order to receive the priority; however, you should rank your programs in the order that you’d like to
be considered for them.
Students Not Currently Enrolled at a NYC Public School
Students not currently enrolled in a NYC public school will need to request an application for the district in
which they live from their local enrollment office.
