Middle School 890
​Prospective Families and Students SY 2021-2022

COVID-19 has had a profound impact across every aspect of our school system, including the admissions process. As a result, we’re updating our pre-pandemic admissions timeline to ensure ample time for families to explore schools and apply once the application launches. Please note:
  • The middle school application is not yet open, and it no longer closes on December 4, 2020. You will have additional time to apply.
  • We appreciate your patience and will update this page with more detailed information and a timeline as soon as we can.
  • Sign up for our middle school admissions email list and we'll notify you when the application opens! You will also get updates, key date reminders, and tips throughout the admissions process.

What You Can Do Now

  • Explore schools and programs with the searchable MySchools middle school directory. You don't need an account to start browsing! 
    • Search. Type any school's name in the search box to learn more about it. Search for schools by features or offerings, such as "debate" or "band."
    • Filter. Use the filter buttons below the search box to narrow down the list of schools based on what is important to you, such as accessibility, location near a specific subway line, sports offered, and more.

Virtual Open House

Most years, visiting a school can help you learn if it may be the right place for your child. It’s also a great way to see how long the trip is from home. This year, please contact schools directly for the most recent information, such as whether they will hold virtual open houses or information sessions. More information to follow...
  • Opportunities for families to ask questions to school staff or student ambassadors through phone calls, online chats, or emails.
  • Interviews with alumni on how they were prepared for high school
