High School Placement Test (HSPT)

The High School Placement Test (HSPT) is a standardized test administered to 8th graders that helps schools know where to place students academically when they enter high school. The test takes approximately three hours to complete and an essay will be administered after the standardized portion of the test.

We host a Prospective Parent Information Session during the first hour of the HSPT for parents and guardians. The HSPT can be shared with any school that accepts the HSPT regardless of where it was proctored.

The cost of the test is $30 which can be paid online for anyone with a JPII FinalSite account, or via cash/check on the day of the test.

HSPT dates for the 2026–27 school year have concluded.
