u Message to Students and Parents/Guardians About Specialized High Schools Admissions The Specialized High Schools Student Handbook 2011-2012 describes the programs and admissions procedures for the Specialized High Schools in New York City, which are: Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, The Bronx High School of Science, The Brooklyn Latin School, Brooklyn Technical High School, High School for Mathematics, Science and Engineering at the City College, High School of American Studies at Lehman College, Queens High School for the Sciences at York College, Staten Island Technical High School, and Stuyvesant High School. These schools were established under New York State Law 2590 – Section G. Each school provides students with a unique opportunity to pursue special interests and to develop their talents. Entrance into these schools is by examination except for Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts (LaGuardia High School) which is based on a competitive audition and review of academic records. Students must be residents of New York City in order to apply, register, and sit for the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test (SHSAT) and to audition for LaGuardia High School. You should meet with your guidance counselor to discuss registration for the SHSAT or audition requirements. In this handbook, you will find useful information about the Specialized High Schools, including programs in the schools, admission procedures, sample tests with test-taking tips, and a calendar of important dates. This handbook can be used by students and parents/guardians. Included in this handbook are two complete sample tests of the SHSAT, along with answers and explanations to help you prepare for the actual test. It is important to familiarize yourself with the information contained in this handbook. The Specialized High Schools Student Handbook is a project of the New York City Department of Education, the Office of Assessment and the Division of Portfolio Planning. For more information on other New York City Public High Schools, please see a copy of the Directory of the New York City Public High Schools or you may find it online at www.nyc.gov/schools/ChoicesEnrollment/High. 4
