Scholars are admitted regardless of academic ability, disability or past behavior. Throughout Achievement First’s history, any scholar attending an Achievement First middle school in New Haven or Bridgeport (Amistad Academy, AF Bridgeport or Elm City College Prep) has been granted a seat at AFAHS provided they have met the following requirements:  They have submitted a completed enrollment form  They have been promoted to the 9th grade by their sending middle school In the past, AHS has also selected a small number of scholars each year from the New Haven Public School magnet lottery or the Achievement First Bridgeport lottery provided there is sufficient space, funding and resources available at the school. Siblings of Achievement First scholars are given priority in the respective lotteries, as are “neighborhood” residents in New Haven. With a significant increase in enrollment at AF middle schools, AF is currently exploring all options for continuing to serve our scholars, including possibly capping enrollment in the future. Returning to AFAHS Occasionally, a scholar who has chosen to go to another high school may wish to return. In some cases, the scholar may have left AF after middle school, while in others they may have started at the high school. To return to AFAHS, the scholar must register for the NHPS lottery or AF Bridgeport lottery, and be randomly chosen. We are not legally able to provide preference to these scholars.
