Middle School Information
Fifth grade public school students must participate in Middle School Admissions.
Each fall, all fifth graders currently enrolled in a New York City public elementary school receive customized middle school applications. District 21 students may apply to District 21 Talent Testing Magnet Programs (2 step process). All students interested in applying to D21 Magnet Programs must first submit a Request for Testing (RFT-step 1) form by October 14, 2016. The RFT form will ask the student/family to identify two talent areas for which the student will participate in competitive talent exams. The talent areas selected on the RFT form will determine which programs appear on applicants' personalized middle school applications (step2).
PS 253 will be hosting a series of parent meetings to assist families with the process. Flyers with dates and times will be posted and backpacked soon. Parents please make every effort to attend:
District 21 Middle School Fair on September 27th at I.S.303, 501 West Ave, from 5:30pm-7:30pm.
