Middle School Information
Middle School Admissions Process
The middle school application is now closed. The application is expected to open on Wednesday, October 15, 2025. Families can see the status of their application via MySchools.nyc. Admissions decisions will be published by the NYC Public Schools in the Spring. The Fall 2026 Middle School Admissions Timeline can be found at the NYC Public School Middle School website.
Students will be admitted through a lottery-based system this year.
District and geographic priorities, as well as Diversity in Admissions priorities, will still apply for those middle schools that have them. Please check individual school websites for information on their admissions priorities.
