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.

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 will be placed on a wait list. 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.
