GATE High School Information

SAS INFORMATION FOR 8TH GRADE PARENTS/STUDENTS

***PLEASE BE AWARE OF THE APPLICATION DATES IF YOU LIVE OUTSIDE THE PORTOLA BOUNDARY.   apply.lausd.net

Charter and magnet applications are due in November.  Therefore, it is important to attend tour of schools or visit high school websites before November in order to make  informed decisions.  Also, it is recommended that parents/students attend High School Night at Portola (usually in October) where several high schools present and answer questions about their school/programs.
 
There are many options available to you as you search for the best high school for your 8th grader. Along with magnets and charters, LAUSD offers Schools for Advanced Studies (SAS). “The Schools for Advanced Studies (SAS) are programs designed throughout the District which have been implemented to improve educational options and increase professional training to support the development of gifted and talented youth.” SAS schools accept students outside their local area based on the criteria for admittance. (Note: A student does not need to be identified “gifted” to apply to an SAS school.  With teacher recommendations and/or good grades in honors classes, the GATE Coordinator (Mrs. Miller) can verify gifted status.)
 
For more information, go to:
 
To view a list of SAS (Schools for Advanced Studies) school, go to the following link:  If you would like to apply to any of these schools, you will need to submit an SAS application to the high school of your choice.
