ENTRANCE to MEIGS & PATHWAY TO HUME-FOGG
Qualifications for ALL academic magnet schools (Meigs, MLK, and Hume-Fogg) are based academic qualifications.

Meigs Academic Magnet School is a middle school for grades 5-8.  We have an academic requirement.  Students interested must score proficient or advanced in both reading and math on TCAP assessments in the spring prior to entering the school lottery in November. Students applying are then randomly selected in a drawing in January. If selected, those students will then enter the following school year (August.)
DETAILS:
  • Academic average of 85 or above for the spring semester of last year and the 1st grading period of the current year with no failing grades for any grading period to enter any magnet school.
  • TCAP test scores for reading and math must be PROFICIENT or ADVANCED in both.
  • If you are from out of state or moving from private school and test scores are not TCAP scores from spring, students must have stanine scores in reading and math which total 14 or more when added together from a nationally norm-referenced test. We recommend turning in tests other than TCAP at least one week before the deadline so that we can verify that the scores are acceptable or if other documents will be needed.
  • Home school students must also submit 6 work samples for each of the four core subject areas (language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies), and must complete a timed writing prompt. Please contact the MNPS Customer Service Center at 259-4636 for more details.

NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION: MEIGS 101 and Parent 101
Held each year at the end of July, these two days are your first steps into Meigs. Look for more information to come. Parent 101 is the first day of this two day orientation..

We are wait-listed. What does that mean? It means you must be flexible and patient. Meigs wait list can pull 5 or 25. It varies year to year. We wish we could advise you on how many students could get pulled from the wait list. But, it is a hard prediction. Kids find out that a spot has opened up before the school year ends, in the summer and sometimes two or three days after next school year starts. Be ready to be flexible. Stay tuned to this website for posts on summer reading and supply lists so you can be prepared.
