Admissions Policy

The admission of a freshman student to St. Francis de Sales High School is determined after the consideration of the following criteria:

  1. The student must take the Placement examination given at St. Francis de Sales in January, prior to graduation (or a make-up exam if the original exam was missed).
  2. The student must be a graduate of an accredited elementary or junior high school.
  3. The student must appear with his/her parents at an orientation/registration session at the appropriate time.
  4. The student must have a Graduate Summary Report sent to St. Francis de Sales High School from his/her school of graduation.
  5. The Student's family must not have a history of financial irresponsibility to St. Francis de Sales.

Freshmen are placed in a curriculum appropriate for their skills and potential, as a result of the Placement Exam, as well as a review of their seventh and eighth grade records and standardized test results supplied by their grammar schools. Placement in a curriculum level can be changed relative to each student’s performance on a semester by semester basis. Scholarships are awarded based upon the January placement exam.
