Placement testing is required of all applicants grades 1-11.  This is not an entrance exam.  This test determines grade and group placement in the school’s ability level groups for reading, writing, and math so your student is challenged and successful.  Families that complete testing within two weeks of the lottery or submittal of an application if after the lottery has been run will be given priority placement over those families who have not completed testing.  Regardless of their spot on the waitlist.

Kindergarten applicants are not required to test.  They are assessed for ability level grouping at the beginning of the school year.
