Lab Middle School is a screened District 2 school. Children who reside in District 2 or who are grandfathered in a District 2 school are considered for admission. This includes children who are currently enrolled in private school but who reside in District 2. Because Lab is a screened school, Lab has flexibility in setting its own admissions criteria and exams to align to the Lab School’s philosophy, mission and core values.

Admission to Lab generally requires a test (which changes from year to year) that has three main components: 1) a literacy exam (writing and comprehension); 2) a math exam; and 3) a collaborative group exercise. The literacy and math exams are based on 5th grade standards. In addition, Lab considers attendance and lateness, as well as teacher comments, to screen all applicants. Lab Middle School does not consider the 4^th grade standardized math and ELA test scores in admissions decisions. Siblings are not given special consideration. Lab holds tours in the fall/winter and the test is administered in the early spring.

Special Education applicants receive a more granular test that goes deeper into assessing the comprehension skills and reading levels of the applicants. Children applying for special education admission take these tests separately from the other applicants.

Lab Middle School does accept children in 7th and 8th grade, space permitting. For more information on mid-school transfers or admission, contact Lisa Weber, Assistant Principal at 212-691-6119, extension 4350 or lweber2@nyclabschool.org.

Lab MS Admissions Exam will be held Saturday, February 4, 2012.

Specific testing information including, time, make-up dates, etc will be communicated next week through our website and your elementary school.

Stay tuned!
