Placement Test
All incoming 9th grade applicants are required to take a Placement Test as part of the application process. We use the High School Placement Test (HSPT) from Scholastic Testing Service as one of the tools for placing each rising 9th grader into the appropriate level of courses in the subjects of English, Math, and Science.

To register for the Placement Test, log into your Parent Portal account and follow the student's Checklist. Under "Register for Placement Test", you will "Schedule Appointment", select a test date, and submit the $25 testing fee, all within the registration form.

Step 3: Review by Admissions Committee / Notification of Status
After all checklist items have been completed, your Application will automatically be forwarded to the Admissions Committee, which meets once a month from January through May. After the Committee meets, the parent receives notification of acceptance by email.

Upon acceptance, log into your Parent Portal account to finalize your student's enrollment. The checklist will ask you to complete a contract and other items for the coming school year and pay the enrollment fee.
