out of boundary, etc. high school deadline

[Anonymous]

last year I looked into this & I remember the deadlines being sometime in February for applying out of boundary or for admission to School without walls or Ellington. Anyone know?

Those two schools do not use the OOB process. All students must apply. The deadline for SWW has passed and the deadline for Ellington is Monday. And for OOB for Wilson, unless you are at a feeder school, you need to apply to an academy. That deadline to apply to the academies is Jan 29. Go to the individual school websites for more info.

Actually, the deadline for Ellington has also passed. Here is a link to deadlines for the citywide selective high schools:

For Wilson, I think in theory you may also apply to through the OOB lottery, but that few if any are admitted OOB outside of the academy application process.

on the other thread it looks like tons of kids were wait-listed out of boundary for Wilson. Too bad it doesn't say how many eventually got in.
