Small cohorts are flagged since a handful of students can swing a percentage a lot; cells too small to report are omitted by DOE for student privacy.Source: NYC Open Data: School Quality Reports Data (2023-24 school year)Economic Need Index is DOE's estimate of the share of students facing economic hardship, based on eligibility for public assistance, temporary housing status, and household income relative to the poverty line. Some very high values are reported by DOE only as "Above 95%" for student privacy and are shown here as 95%.Source: NYC Open Data: Demographic Snapshot (2021-22 school year)Priority groups, in the order NYC DOE offers seats. Tap a group for NYC DOE's exact wording.Estimates derived from NYC DOE's own wording, which rounds and fuzzes small numbers for privacy. Each group's applicant count is independent of the others -- schools are usually oversubscribed, so applicant counts across groups often add up to more than the total seats. That's expected, not an error.Source: NYC DOE MySchools Admissions Data (2025-26 admissions cycle)

There were about 430 applicants in this group and about 200 received offers last year.This group's offers alone accounted for ~115% of the program's seats -- not the same as this group's own admit rate above, since offers can exceed seats (not everyone who gets one enrolls).
