High School Application News

Some High Schools are participating in the Diversity in Admissions initiative. These schools give an admissions priority to applicants who are low-income, English Language Learners (ELLs) or Emerging Multilingual Learners (EMLs), are in the child welfare system or live in temporary housing. 

 

In order for children to receive admissions priority based on income level, families can report their income. It is optional for families to report their income, but students cannot receive admissions priority based on income level if their family does not report their income. Income can be reported using the Family Income Inquiry Form.

 

It should take approximately four business days for this information to appear on a student's myschools page once the form has been submitted. If your student's information does not appear after 4 days, please let us know immediately by contacting [email protected].
