Incoming Freshman
All 8th grade graduates,
regardless of race, creed, sex, or ethnic origin are eligible for
admission to Saint Viator High School. An entrance test is given
to prospective students annually on the 2nd Saturday of January. The results of the entrance
test are received and grade school teacher recommendations are
considered for course placement. An admissions committee reviews
the entrance test performance of any student's score which
falls in the lowest quartile. For admission, the admissions
committee conducts an interview, considers entrance test results,
and weighs previous academic performance and teacher evaluation.
Additional data may be required before admission is granted.
The admissions committee makes the final decision concerning
admission.

Waiting List
At times, it is impossible
for Saint Viator High School to accept every student who applies
because of limitations of space. First priority is always
given to those students who take the entrance test at Saint Viator
High School on the assigned date in January. Priority is also
given to students graduating from our normal "feeder" schools.
The following
guidelines are established to provide the admissions office with
parameters for accepting students to Saint Viator and establishing a
waiting list in the event one becomes necessary.
-
All guidelines
should be consistent with the Mission of Saint Viator High School.
-
Every effort
should be made to attract and accept students with diverse
ethnic, religious, racial and socio-economic backgrounds.
-
A balanced
student body of females and males is ideal.
-
Priority
acceptance should be given to children of alumni, siblings of
current and former students, and students from our traditional
Catholic "feeder" grade schools.
-
Every attempt
should be made to accept the maximum number of students into our
honors and learning disabilities programs.
-
Priority should
be given to those taking the placement test at Saint Viator.
