Middle School Selection Process-
Deadline November 15, 2022
The School Selection Process allows students who are entering Kindergarten through the 12th grade to apply to a school other than their neighborhood. This is the school that connects to your family’s home address. Students can apply to up to FIVE (5) different School District of Philadelphia Schools. There are different types of District Schools:
Criteria Based Schools – academic criteria based using grades and attendance (Conwell MS, Masterman MS, AMY Northwest MS, Science Leadership Academy @ Beeber, Girard Academic Music Program (GAMP) and Science Leadership Academy Middle SLAMS)
City Wide Schools – lottery based on space (for example, AMY 5 at James Martin)
Catchment Schools – lottery based on space (for example AMY 5 at James Martin)
This application process does not include other Charter, Catholic or any private schools.
