Choice Program

Serving the communities of Barrington, Haddon Heights, Lawnside, and Merchantville, Haddon Heights School District continues to be proud of its continuing tradition of excellent academic performance and high standards for all students. The high number of students who move on to post-secondary education and the military continues to be competitive on a national level. Haddon Heights School High School offers a diverse curriculum, including more than 125 course offerings, 10 AP courses, and 14 Honors classes at the high school alone.

Although focused on academics and preparing students to succeed in the 21st Century, Haddon Heights is focused on developing the whole student. A variety of activities are offered throughout the district. At the high school, students have the opportunity to participate in 20 varsity sports and over 40 extra-curricular activities. In junior-high, students can participate in 8 sports and 10 extra-curricular activities. Choice students will have the ability to participate in any programs offered in the district.

Haddon Heights is committed to new educational initiatives to develop every student academically, socially, and emotionally while developing a sense of self-worth and confidence.

 

Choice Seats Availability

The purpose of the chart below is to inform parents of choice seat availability before the application deadline in early December. After the deadline, the information will be outdated.

The Department of Education limits the number of choice seats that each district can fill. The “maximum number of new choice students that can be enrolled” tells parents how many new choice students the district can enroll in the next school year. If more than the maximum number of applications is received, a lottery will be held and a waitlist will be developed. Waitlists will be developed for all approved choice grades even if no seats are currently available. NA indicates the district is not accepting choice applications for those grades.

Maximum Number of New Choice Students that can be Enrolled: 14

District Choice Policies

Indicate Yes/No/NA 

The district accepts Tier 2 students (see definitions of Tier 1 and Tier 2 ).

 Yes

The district gives enrollment preference to choice applicants who have a sibling currently attending the choice district and who will continue to attend in the following school year, provided there are choice seats available in the choice-approved grades/programs and the students meet any program-specific criteria.

 Yes

The district gives enrollment preference to choice applicants who have completed the terminal grade of the sending district (i.e., students who attend a choice district with grades that terminate before 12th grade and have a natural progression to this choice district), provided there are choice seats available in the choice-approved grades/programs and the students meet any program-specific criteria.

 Yes

The district gives enrollment preference to resident students who move before the application deadline. If resident students move and file choice applications for the following year prior to the deadline, the district will give them enrollment preference (i.e., accept them after the enrollment preference students described in b. and c. above, but ahead of other applicants), provided there are choice seats available in the choice-approved grades/programs and the students meet any program-specific criteria. If the district has already reached its approved choice enrollment maximum, this preference will not apply.

 Yes

The district gives special consideration to resident students who move after the application deadline. Students in this situation may apply as late applicants and be added to the front of the district’s waitlist, provided the students will enroll in a choice-approved grade/program and they meet any program-specific criteria. No additional choice seats above the maximum will be approved by the NJDOE to accommodate these students.

 Yes
