High School Information
Helpful Tips
- We recommend that all students should begin shadowing in the fall any schools they are interested in attending, ideally prior to completing the magnet school application. Contact information for shadowing is at the bottom of the page.
- Follow deadlines closely!
- If you do not get accepted to a magnet school, you are guaranteed a spot at your neighborhood comprehensive high school (Hillhouse or Cross).
- You only need to apply to Cross or Hillhouse using the magnet school application if you would like to attend the school that is NOT YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD school. You can find out what your neighborhood school is here.
