High School Magnet Application

Be sure to scroll down to read all information on this page!
High School Magnet Program Scoring Guidelines

  • Please review the high school magnet program offerings at the link on the right side of this page.
  • All applicants must submit the prior year’s final report card, showing four quarters/three trimesters of grades.
    • High school magnet applications for current BCPS students do not need to include the current year’s report card.  For BCPS applicants, the current year’s report card will be obtained from system data.
    • Non-BCPS students must also submit a copy of the current year’s first quarter/trimester report card.  Non-BCPS applicants who will not receive their current year’s first quarter/trimester report card until after November 26, 2008 must submit it as soon as it is available to them.  Applicants must apply by the deadline and submit the current year’s report card postmarked no later than December 31, 2008.
  • The application deadline is Wednesday, November 26, 2008. 

    Applications may be postmarked or hand-delivered to the Office of Magnet Programs.  Hand-delivered applications will be accepted until 4:30 p.m. on November 26, 2008.

    Applications are not processed without proof of timely submission (i.e., certified mail receipt). Applications postmarked, hand-delivered, or received without a clear postmark, indicating timely submission, after the November 26, 2008, are not processed.

    It is strongly recommended that applicants use certified mail, with a return receipt requested from the U.S. Post Office, for confirmation of submission.
  • Read all instructions in the High School Magnet Programs Brochure and Application prior to submitting.  Note that some schools accept applications for incoming 10th and 11th grade students while others are limited to incoming 9th grade students only.
  • Make program selections carefully.  Any change in program selection(s) requires the submission of a new application, postmarked or hand-delivered on or before the application deadline.
  • The High School Magnet Programs Brochure is in PDF format, which requires Adobe Acrobat Reader to open.  This program may be downloaded for free at the link on the magnet office home page. If you are unable to open this file, please contact your local school for an application.
