USING THE POLL BUTTONS PLEASE VOTE: Would you send your child to a NYC Specialized High School or would you prefer to send them to a private school?
There are nine Specialized High Schools in NYC. All are FREE. Admission to the eight schools below is based on the Specialized High School Admissions Test (SHSAT).
Bronx High School of Science
Brooklyn Tech
Brooklyn Latin School
High School for Mathematics, Science and Engineering at City College
High School of American Studies at Lehman College
Queens High School for the Sciences at York College
Staten Island Technical High School
Stuyvesant High School
Admission to Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts is determined by audition rather than by examination.
Why would you choose one over the other?

I have 3 nieces/nephews attending specialized high schools, and the oldest one has already been accepted into an excellent, exclusive university with more to come.

I stand corrected. However, admission to LaGuardia is determined by audition rather than by examination.
