Step 3: The High School Placement Test

For the 2023-24 school year, O’Dowd will consider the HSPT standardized test scores. For admission decisions, we will continue to take into account transcripts, portfolio submissions, and recommendations in addition to test scores.

If your student is applying to another Catholic school, please contact the school to which they are applying to understand their HSPT requirements.
