How to Apply

  • Thank you for your interest in the Jack Yates High School Magnet Programs!

    We look forward to welcoming you to the Lion’s Den to become a part of the PRIDE, EXCELLENCE, and TRADITION of the one and only Rev. Jack Yates High School, in the historical Third Ward community.

     

    How To Qualify 

    Students are required to have a Matrix score of 70 in order to qualify for our Magnet Program.

    When you complete the application, be sure to upload a copy of the FINAL Report Card for the 2023 - 2024 school year in the NEXT STEPS section of the Application.  You may also email it to our Magnet Coordinator Ms. Hunter at chinara.hunter@houstonisd.org

    IMPORTANT: The Final Report card will be used to determine eligibility for the Magnet Program, also known as the Matrix Score. Without the Final Report Card, a Matrix Score cannot be calculated, and the student's application cannot be approved.

     

     

     

     

    How do I obtain a copy of the 2023 - 2024 Final Report Card for my student?

    Visit or email your child’s School Registrar or School Counselor during the 23 - 24 school year.

    There is no audition necessary for any of our programs.

     

     *If you can upload a copy of your students' STAAR Scores, that may support your student's Matrix score.*
