Important Notice Regarding
Admission to Hampstead Hill Academy
Sibling Admission Policy

As previously announced, effective March 4, 2025, siblings who live outside of the HHA attendance zone are not guaranteed admission when a grade level has 93 or more enrolled students. This policy was established to address overcrowding in specific grades. There is one exception to this policy and it is for rising kindergarten students who will be 5 years old by September 1, 2026.

Kindergarten exception (Through March 1, 2026)

  • Rising kindergarten siblings of current HHA students who live outside the attendance zone will be admitted through March 1, 2026 for the 2026 -2027 school year.
  • After March 1, 2026, out-of-zone siblings will no longer be guaranteed admission and will be placed on a waiting list.

Next Steps for Rising Kindergarten Student

If you live outside our attendance zone and have an older child currently attending HHA and want your rising kindergarten child to attend HHA for the 2026–2027 school year, please complete the required form at this link or email kjohnson@hha47.org. The deadline to submit the form or contact Ms. Johnson is March 1, 2026.

Current Students

All students enrolled at HHA as of March 1, 2026, will remain enrolled, regardless of whether they live inside or outside the attendance zone.

If a family plans to move

If a family moves from the HHA attendance zone to another part of Baltimore City, their currently enrolled children may continue attending HHA. However, any new siblings who live outside the attendance zone will be placed on the waiting list unless the sibling is a rising kindergarten student and a form has been submitted for that child by March 1, 2026.

For any questions or concerns, please contact Ms. Katie Johnson at kjohnson@hha47.org.

HHA Enrollment Policies 

Hampstead Hill Academy (HHA) is a public charter conversion school serving students from PreK through 8th grade.  As a conversion school, HHA serves students living in its attendance area from Broadway (west) to Haven (east) and Eastern (north) to Boston (south). All students in grades K-8 living within HHA’s attendance area are admitted to the school. Visit the school locator  to confirm that HHA is your zoned school.

As a public charter school, admission can be possible by taking part in the HHA Lottery.  The lottery procedures apply to any K-8 vacancies that exist after all in-zone K-8 students are served. Lottery participation is open to all kindergarten through 8th grade students who are residents of Baltimore City and who live outside of the HHA zone. Please note that due to overcrowding at HHA, we have not taken any students from our lottery or waiting list since 2022. We do not expect to be able to accommodate lottery/waitlist students for several years to come. For more information on the HHA lottery, click the link below.
