Zoned High Schools Eliminated in NYC
According to the DOE’s new 2022 NYC Public Schools Admissions Guide: “Beginning with admissions for students entering high school in September 2022, no high school applicant will have priority to attend a school based on where they live.” (NY Post Article)
This may open opportunities for students, but it also takes away the safety net FOR EVERY STUDENT of attending their zoned high school.
The newspaper is delivering this information to the community. Why didn’t any elected official have a meeting with parents and discuss this? Oh yeah, they were playing politics over the elections!
While this is being done to increase equity, what about students who don’t fill out the form or who only put a limited amount of schools and get locked out by this process? Maybe they will make sure everyone is placed before giving out the results, so no one feels locked out.
