UNDERSTANDING THE NYC HIGH SCHOOL APPLICATION PROCESS  \nHigh school advisement is one of the most important jobs that we do for students in foster care. The high school a student attends can have a major impact on their graduation chances, their postsecondary readiness, and their social and emotional well-being during a critical stage of their adolescence. The data shows that students who get help from their Middle School Specialist through every step of the high school application process get into higherperforming schools, while students who don’t get help are matched with high schools with below-average graduation rates – sometimes significantly below the city average  \nThe process the New York City Department of Education (DOE) uses to match 8th graders to public high schools is complicated. Students and their families are asked to come up with a ranked list of schools they want to apply to, and they are admitted according to a range of criteria that might not be obvious to someone who is filling out the application for the first time. This complex system of school choice and NYC’s wide disparity in high school quality lead directly to an unequal and segregated high school landscape. Too often, students who don’t have access to strategic high school advising list only a handful of struggling schools on their application. Students in foster care deserve equal access to a quality high school education, so it’s vital that we support them during the high school application process.  \nThe goal of this guide is to help you assist your students in preparing a well-tailored application that will maximize their chances of receiving a high school education that supports and challenges them. It is intended as a supplement to the online MySchools directory, and the outstanding information available via the InsideSchools  website.  \nIn this guide, we provide a brief overview of the different admissions methods that high schools use, the different types of high schools, and what to look for when helping your student choose schools. We will clarify the meaning of the statistics and school quality measures found in the High School Directory in MySchools. We also provide information on transfer schools, charter schools, and high school advising for students with disabilities. At the end of this guide, you will find additional resources, including a High School Checklist and Worksheet that you can use to make sure you and your student are on track to submit a high school application that maximizes their chances of getting a school that supports their needs and aspirations.  \nHigh school applications are typically due in early December, but submitting a quality application takes time and should involve visiting potential schools. For that reason, it’s important to start early!  \nTake some time each summer to identify all the rising 8th graders at your agency, including students who may be repeating 8th grade and students who are away at residential placements. Once you have a list of students, the next step is to reach out to the foster parent to introduce yourself, let them know that you will be helping them with the high school selection process, and schedule the firs","cbCaiuaLZ8myp02s","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuaLZ8myp02s","pdf",639442,"English","# Understanding the NYC High School Application Process\n## Tips From Middle School Specialists, For Middle School Specialists\n## Admissions Methods\n## Admissions Priorities\n## Types of Schools\n## Choosing and Ranking Schools\n## Waitlists\n## Special Considerations\n## Additional Resources\n# High School Selection for Students With Disabilities\n# Transfer Schools\n# Charter Schools\n# High School Admissions Checklist & Worksheet\n# Tips on How to Make That First Call to the Foster Parent\n# Student Interest Assessment","[{\"question\":\"Why is high school advisement especially important for students in foster care?\",\"answer\":\"The guide explains that the high school a student attends strongly affects graduation chances, postsecondary readiness, and social-emotional well-being.
