Upcoming HS Admissions Season

Hunter's high school admissions office services admissions for seventh grade only. In order to apply for the coming year, children must:

• be in the sixth grade and
• hold primary residency in one of the five boroughs of New York City as of September 1st of the application year and
• be eligible according to the published criteria of the application year with a score report from a standardized 5th grade exam.

Hunter's seventh grade admissions is a two part process: the application and the exam.

On our application, we will ask you to provide us with a valid score report for a fifth grade exam. Valid exams include: primarily the NYS exams or a nationally normed independent exam (e.g. ISEE, TerraNova, CTP-5, Stanford 10, etc.). Hunter looks at the Reading Comprehension and Math sections of exams only, and will not include other sections such as the science portion of the NYS exam. Cutoff scores to apply will be announced once we have received scoring data from New York City Public Schools.

The second part of our application is the entrance exam. Testing is in person on one day, with no make-ups or alternate dates. For more information on our exam and some practice materials, visit this page.

Please fill out the inquiry form below if you'd like to join our mailing list. Over the next few months, we will announce when our eligibility criteria are released, when our application opens, and the date of the exam, as well as any new information about our process.

We look forward to hearing from you!
