Admission Criteria

Link uses specific criteria in considering and evaluating applications. In making our decisions, we aim to keep the following considerations in mind:

Take a roughly equal number of students from three levels of academic achievement: a) below grade level b) at grade level c) above grade level;
Maintain an equal male/female ratio;
Provide opportunities for students whose family resources do not readily allow academic alternatives.

Some of the student characteristics we look for include:

Students who demonstrate a clear need and desire to benefit from Link's education, academically, developmentally, and socially;
Students whose potential has not been realized or whose potential is surfacing and would benefit from small classes and a small learning community;
Students who live in Newark as well as students from surrounding urban cities;
Students who have parents who show a commitment to being involved with the active life of the school and who will be supportive of the high expectations of Link.
