Get your child ready for the competitive admissions process.

test scores matter more…

Test scores increasingly determine whether a child gets into one of the top schools. The average GPA for all Selective Enrollment High Schools is about 3.7 while the GPA at the more competitive schools is already a perfect 4.0. Less than stellar 7th grade grades will exclude your child, but superior grades on their own will not be enough to get in.

The Selective Enrollment Entrance Exam is one third of both the Selective Enrollment High School and Academic Center 900 point admissions formula. Your child needs a top score on this test to get into a competitive Selective Enrollment school.

SelectivePrep’s rigorous fall program will thoroughly review the math, reading, language and vocabulary your child must master to excel.
