In a reversal, wealthy Manhattan school district to screen students for new middle school honors program
After moving away from selective admissions policies for middle schools, one of New York City’s wealthiest school districts will now “screen” again — this time for students applying to four new honors programs that will operate within schools.
“Over the past several months we have spoken with District 2 parents and families about middle school admissions,” McGuire said in the letter. “While there is a wide diversity of perspectives across our district, we have developed a plan that offers pathways for accelerated learning through screened programs, maintained sibling priority, and ensured that all students have access to every District 2 middle school.
But some parents have lobbied fiercely for selective admissions saying their children yearn for accelerated options, and maintaining those options will retain families considering leaving the public school system. But last year, the Adams administration said superintendents could decide whether to reinstate the screens. Only 59 schools of 478 middle schools citywide opted to screen students last year. District 2 was one of the districts that decided to keep its middle schools unscreened.
