Summer 2025 High School Admissions Checklist for Families
Set Up Accounts & Stay Informed
- Create a MySchools account if your child does not already have one: https://www.myschools.nyc/en/
- Bookmark these websites for future updates and resources:
- – NYC DOE High School Admissions Page: https://www.schools.nyc.gov/enrollment/enroll-grade-by-grade/high-school
- – School Website (New Voices Brooklyn): https://newvoicesbrooklyn.org/
- Plan to join the Google Classroom when it is launched in September 2025 (Instructions will be provided then).
Start Researching High Schools
- Use MySchools to explore different types of high school programs: Zoned, Open, Screened, Audition-based, Specialized (SHSAT schools).
- Attend open houses and virtual info sessions listed under the Events tab in MySchools (it may not be updated).
- Create a list of 12–20 potential high school programs that vary in type of admission methods.
- Talk with your child about their interests, goals, commute, and what type of school might fit them best.
Understand SHSAT & Auditions
- Be aware that the SHSAT is going digital in Fall 2025, with added supports for ELLs and students with IEPs.
- Begin preparing for the SHSAT over the summer if your child is considering specialized high schools. Practice exams are on the DOE website.
- Look into audition requirements if your child is interested in schools like LaGuardia.
Plan Ahead for Fall
- Watch for announcements about High School Application Opening (October 2025) and SHSAT Registration Opening (October 2025).
Other Application Notes
- Private school applications: Families handle these independently. Submit required school forms to Ms. Miller at least 2 weeks before deadlines.
- Charter school applications are separate and not part of MySchools—apply directly through each charter school.
Communication Tips
- When replying to group emails/messages from Ms. Miller, start a new message thread instead of replying directly.
