List of Public Schools open to children citywide
Citywide public schools are open to all children and teenagers regardless of where they reside; however, some citywide schools give preference students residing in their respective district.
The admission process to citywide public schools varies depending on the school and may even be a lottery system. Some schools also require a placement test, which is used to determine a student's academic level so he or she is placed in the appropriate grade. The placement test can also influence a school's decision regarding a student's acceptance, especially in the case of NYC's more citywide schools. To schedule a placement test, you should call the school directly.
