HIGH SCHOOL PLACEMENT TEST
St. Joseph Academy Catholic High School
January 21, 2023
WHY GIVE A PLACEMENT TEST
The placement exam is given by all of the Catholic High Schools in the Diocese of St. Augustine in the spring semester before entering 9th grade.
We give the exam as one measurement tool to help place students in their 9th grade course work.
.
While it is important for all of the students to do their best on the HSPT, we also consider middle school coursework, grades, and standardized test like the Terra Nova and FSA.
