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 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 use the signed release of information you provide to talk to professionals who have worked with the student.

5. Once the student's application is complete, students will be invited for a half day shadow visit where they can visit classes and meet students and teachers. Students should expect to participate in classes and to spend some time in an interview with the Director of Admissions or other Bayhill staff.

7. The last day to submit application packets for priority admissions is January 12, 2012. If space allows, we will continue to consider applications throughout the spring and summer.

8. Applicants will be contacted about our admissions decisions on March 15, 2012. 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.
