High School Placement Test

The High School Placement Test (HSPT) is a measure of a student’s basic abilities and educational achievement. This test is required as part of the admission process for all 8th grade students planning to attend a Catholic high school. Bishop Foley Catholic uses applicants’ test scores to aid in proper placement within our curriculum, as well as scholarships. Further honors placement testing will be offered in the spring based on HSPT scores.

Bishop Foley Catholic offers the HSPT four times throughout the academic year. Each student may only take the exam once. Families will register to take the HSPT at the high school of their choice through the online portal below. Submitting payment online ahead of time will expedite the check-in process the day of your student’s exam.

Test Scores
Bishop Foley Catholic does not use a student’s HSPT score as the sole determinant for entrance. Strong consideration is given to 7th and 8th grade performance both academically and behaviorally. Middle school teacher recommendations, as well as principal input, also aid in the overall acceptance of each student.

Testing

Bishop Foley Catholic will only offer testing accommodations for the December 2 test. If you are requesting testing accommodations, please do so when registering for the test. Students whose documentation is not provided by the deadline may still take the exam on December 2, but will not be eligible for testing accommodations.

HSPT Prep Workshop

Bishop Foley Catholic hosts HSPT Prep Workshops each fall on our campus for 8th graders. Highly qualified Bishop Foley Catholic faculty members teach the workshops, providing advice on valuable testing tips as well as strategies to score well and avoid common mistakes.
