Optional transfer applications must be processed through the Office of Optional Schools. Once all processing procedures are completed, parents of applicants are notified by mail as to the status of their child's application. For city residents, notification will occur within six to eight weeks of the initial application date. Individual brochures are available for each optional program. School visits can be arranged by contacting the school offices.
Space is available at the school.
The students' optional transfers do not adversely affect the racial make-up of the school. If applicants for optional programs live in the geographic zone of the optional school for which they wish to apply, they should contact the school directly about requirements and procedures for qualifying and registering for the optional school program. Transportation is the responsibility of the parent. Most optional schools require copies of the most recent report card and copies of recent standardized achievement test scores. Submitted achievement test comprehensive scores must be from within the past year.
