Cathedral Catholic presently intends to host the Cathedral Catholic High School placement test on Saturday, January 25, 2025. Each 9th-grade applicant is automatically registered for the Cathedral Catholic High School placement test. In February, the school will communicate make-up opportunities for those who cannot sit for the exam on January 25.
Cathedral Catholic High School has decided to move away from the High School Placement Test (HSPT). The school has determined that the HSPT is not the best instrument for its own placement needs. The Cathedral Catholic High School placement test is a two-hour test administered on campus.
The Cathedral Catholic High School placement test covers math and English. The test is prepared with 7th-8th grade common-core standards in mind in order to target basic skills. Students do not necessarily have to undergo special preparation as they might with a standardized test. Both sections are on scantrons.
This placement assessment is used for placement purposes only. For enrollment consideration, the enrollment committee continues to reference previous courses and grades from 7th and 8th grade, as well as teacher and principal recommendations.
Applicants applying to Cathedral Catholic High School who take the test at Cathedral Catholic are given priority consideration for enrollment, scholarship and tuition assistance. Note: If applicants require additional testing time, learning documentation must be submitted along with the enrollment application no later than January 10, 2025. Learning documentation must be either an IEP or private, formal psycho-educational evaluation indicating an intellectual testing component, as well as an academic component and diagnosis and report, issued by a licensed psycho-educational specialist. Please note that 504 plans do not qualify.
No, calculators are not permitted for any of the math portions.
Please stay tuned for updates regarding specific details on test administration.

Those needing to reschedule an appointment can do so through the Ravenna hub up to 24 hours in advance of the scheduled appointment.
