What is the policy regarding the acceptance of new students whose siblings are already in the magnet academy? Does this policy apply to all magnet academies and programs?
Siblings of magnet students who will return the following school year are given priority in acceptance only in Round 1. Therefore it is very important that siblings of magnet students submit applications by the Round 1 deadline. They must complete the application and earn the minimum qualifying score, depending on program level. Siblings are accepted in the order of their score- beginning with those students with the highest score down to those students with the lowest qualifying score. After all siblings who have qualified are assigned a slot, non siblings will be accepted beginning with the highest score down to the lowest qualifying score until the school’s assigned allotment has been filled. Siblings may be placed on the wait list if the number of qualifying siblings exceeds the number of available slots.
