Admissions Overview
All students who apply participate in a selective admissions process. The process considers middle school grades and a school-developed assessment in language arts, mathematics, and writing. The number of applicants to the Academy has increased each year since the school’s inception in September 2000, and each subsequent year reflects strong competition for a limited number of seats.
Students, with the approval of their parents or guardians, may submit an application to the Edison Academy Magnet School. Applications are made available every October on our website under the ADMISSIONS tab. Students from all municipalities within Middlesex County may apply. Students are offered admission after successfully completing the application process, admission test, and interview. For additional information, see How to Apply.
REQUIREMENTS FOR APPLYING

No exceptions will be made. For additional information, see FAQs.
