New Haven Public Schools                                                                        

Overview: 

New Haven public schools offer a dizzying array of choices: neighborhood schools, magnet schools, interdistrict magnets, intradistrict magnets, charter schools and a state run school.  Special applications are required for most magnet schools, charter schools are run by lottery, and a number of the neighborhood schools will fill up immediately.  You must be on your toes with regard to deadlines.  For help, consult the New Haven Public schools website  and the New Haven magnet schools website.    Mark Oppenheimer’s parent account of the differences between schools is particularly helpful as is this explanation fromYale.   Here is the 2007 list of assigned schools by street.

 

Calendar: Here is a timeline to the 2011-2012 magnet application process.

In general, schools follow the following application schedule:

  • January – Magnet School Fairs and Open Houses; applications made available
  • Mid-February – Application Deadline
  • Early March – Magnet Lottery
  • Late March – Parents accept or decline Magnet School
  • April – Kindergarten registration (from Yale: New Haven schools of choice)
