Lowell High School 10th-12th Grade Admissions

Applications for Lowell Admissions in 10th, 11th and 12th Grade

The Lowell application process for grades 10-12 for the 2012-2013 school year begins on May 14, 2012.  Applications will be available at that time at the Educational Placement Center, at all SFUSD high schools, or on the district’s website.  The application must be submitted in person by the parent or legal guardian between May 14 and June 29, 2012.  Applications submitted after the June deadline or those received by mail or fax will not be considered.

To qualify for Lowell admission, the applicant must take four of the five academic subjects for each semester of high school – English, Laboratory Sciences, Social Studies, Mathematics and Foreign Languageas reflected in an official transcript.  No more than one course from each of the five academic subject areas will be considered.  Courses completed in summer school are not acceptable.  

Current SFUSD students need not submit transcripts.  Applicants who are not currently attending a SanFrancisco public school or who are attending a SFUSD Charter School are responsible for requesting their official transcripts from their current schools for submission to the Educational Placement Center by July 1st, 2012.  Transcripts do not need to be included with the application, but may be submitted separately by the July 1st deadline. Transcripts must arrive sealed to be considered official and may be mailed directly from the applicant’s current school.  

Enrollment into grades 10-12 are dependent upon available capacity at the school.  Students who meet eligibility requirements for admission will receive an assignment offer to Lowell no later than July 27.  There is no waiting pool for admission.

Great things are happening for our kids in San Francisco public schools.
