TESTING Schools may use testing as a part of their admission and placement process. Some use a test to determine whether the student will be admitted to the school while others use a test to gauge a student’s skill/knowledge level. Schools that use tests as a gauge usually place students with similar skill/knowledge sets in the same classroom or assign different or additional courses to be taken. Schools that use a test to determine acceptance may or may not operate on a “track” system because all of their students enter with a similar skill set. In either case, ask the school admissions office how the test will be administered, what you should expect and if there are any older versions that you are able to access. Visit www.testtakingtips.com to learn test taking strategies and helpful tips! Students transferring from a non public school to a public school must take and pass the high stakes standardized test administered to all 8th graders in New Orleans Public Schools during the Spring of the year of application. Contact the school’s district office to find out more information and how you can sit for the test. ACCEPTANCE & MAKING A DECISION Whether applications have been submitted to one school or five, staying on top of acceptance letters is a must. Some schools may have a strict acceptance deadline and may require notification of a student’s intent to enroll by sending an email, placing a phone call, signing an acceptance agreement, or paying a deposit. In any of these situations you want to ensure that you have allowed yourself enough time to consider all of your options before making a decision. If a school has not notified you of your acceptance by the date they originally stated, then immediately call the school to find out if they have pushed their date back or if your letter was lost in the mail. Schools must send either an acceptance or a denial letter to every applicant. If you are accepted to more than one school, go back to the list of “factors to consider when choosing a high school” and the selfassessment. Compare each school to the list of what was important to you. It may help to make a pros and cons list for attending each school. If you have done this and you are still stuck between two schools, call the school to schedule another visit. Since you are only down to two schools, you may notice different things (good and bad) about each school that may help you make your final decision. 31
