City Schools offers a variety of middle and high schools for students to consider through the School Choice program.
City Schools has developed a guide to introduce students and their families to all of the public middle and high schools Baltimore City has to offer. With the guide's assistance, transitioning students can identify the school options that best fit their needs and interests, narrow down their top choices, and understand the criteria and deadlines required for each school.
