Students applying for grade nine are expected to take the High School Placement Test (HSPT), which will be administered in March. Our team will review these results, along with middle school records, to determine appropriate core course level placements.
Note: Should the current pandemic prevent the HSPT from being administered, course level placement will be based on alternative data points.
