The Student High School Registration Centers are located in each borough. High school students must be enrolled at a New Student High School Registration Center.

The following documentation is required to register for high school: - proof of address (such as electric or gas bill) - proof of immunization - birth certificate, baptismal certificate or passport Both the parent/guardian and the child must be present at the time of registration. For new incoming 9th graders, a school record must be provided which includes proof of completion of the 8th grade, test scores and course work taken (a diploma from the intermediate school is not sufficient).

Frequently Asked Questions
Sub-Topic	Details
Charter School Enrollment and Admissions	Under the law, charter schools must have a fair and open admissions process, conducting outreach and recruitment to all segments of the community they serve. When more students apply than can be accommodated, many charters use a lottery to randomly determine which students are accepted. Many charter schools also have waiting lists.
Proof of Address	The parent or custodial parent with whom the student lives must provide proof of address when enrolling a student into school. Verifiable proof of address includes: - a utility bill (gas, electric, or water); - a deed to a house; - a document from the City Housing Authority or the Human Resources Administration; - medical or insurance cards; or - a statement on appropriate letterhead that verifies the address from an employer, a social agency, a community based organization, or a religious institution. A telephone bill or driver’s license is not an acceptable proof of address. A lease by itself is not acceptable. If a parent is subletting an apartment or home, or if more than one family shares a living space, the parent must present an affidavit or notarized letter from the leaseholder or homeowner and attach any of the above acceptable proofs of address, such as the lease, deed or utility bill.
