Details

This system uses the Gale-Shapley deferred acceptance algorithm to match New York City students to public schools across all centralized admissions processes, including 3-K, pre-K, Gifted & Talented, middle school, and high school. It takes student biographical, academic, and school records as input and produces a school placement for each applicant. The algorithm is monitored by staff and runs daily during admissions periods — families should know that the matching outcome is generated automatically based on their submitted preferences and school criteria.
