Applications and Admissions Procedures: 

Application and admissions procedures differ and are dependent upon status of residency in Baltimore City. 

However, both Baltimore City residents and Non-City residents must have a calculated composite score, determined by the Office of Enrollment, Choice, and Transfers​​​​​​​ (410-396-8600). 

Although the minimum composite score for admission is 610, the lowest score accepted has historically been higher. 

If the student applying currently attends a school that does not administer the MCAP ELA and MCAP Math assessment, the student must take the iReady achievement test by calling 410-396-8962.

Remember to bring the following documents with you to the Office of Enrollment, Choice, and Transfers (200 E. North Ave):

• Proof of student's identity and age

• Proof of Parent/Guardian identity

• 2 proofs of address

• Other requested documentation

• Academic records

• IEP or 504 if applicable

• Proof of custody/guardianship

1. General overall grade point average 

• This year's first quarter grades. (8th grade) and

• Last year's final grades. (7th grade)

Only the core subjects (English/Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies) are used in the grade calculation.
