• A completed admissions application form

The admissions process to Bayhill High School involves careful analysis and consideration of each applicant’s information. The goal is to ensure that there is a good two-way fit between Bayhill High School and the student. To ensure that Bayhill High School can make accurate admissions decisions, a complete application must be submitted. For this reason, please note that only a complete application will be reviewed.

3. After reviewing the admissions packet, Bayhill High School will contact you via mail to confirm whether or not the application is complete and if additional information is needed.

4. Shortly thereafter, Bayhill High School will inform you if a general screening has determined the suitability of our program to meet the student’s needs. If so, we will ask for a signed release of information to talk to professionals who have worked with the student. We will also provide you with teacher questionnaires that must be completed by the student's current teacher(s).

5. You may wish to attend our Open Houses.

6. Family observations are also an optional step in the application process. We will send you information about how to participate in the observation process following receipt of your completed application.

7. Student visits are already being scheduled. Students will spend half a day in classrooms and depart before lunch. The visit day will include a brief interview and academic screening.

8. The last day to submit application packets for priority admissions is February 1, 2008. We will continue to accept applications throughout the spring and summer.

9. Applicants will be contacted about our admissions decisions on March 10, 2008. Decisions will be made based on the appropriateness of the student for our school program and the order in which the admission materials were received. A waiting list will be established for students for whom there are no available openings. Applicants on the waiting list will be contacted if an opening occurs.
