Admission to Providence Catholic School is open to girls regardless of religious or ethnic background. Because all persons need the means to establish personal value systems, the school admits students with varying abilities if their needs can be met at Providence.

Admissions - Placement Testing

 

  • Providence has WAIVED the requirement of the HSPT for all incoming High School Students. Post-pandemic this test has not been a clear indicator of a student's academic ability. All students must provide standardized test scores. If a student does not have access to these test scores, Providence can administer a placement test or Map Test.


  • Academic Testing and Grades are still used for academic placement into advanced or on level courses for high school courses. Any recent standardized test scores must be submitted with the student's application. (NWEA, PSAT, IOWA, STAAR, or HSPT)



  • Incoming Middle School Students are only required to take a placement test at Providence if standardized test scores are not submitted with their application.

 

Admissions - Additional Support


Students requiring additional support (Academic, Behavioral, Physical, Social-Emotional) must share this information on the application. All students will be given the same consideration and will be provided an opportunity for admission. An interview with the school counselor, parent, and assistant principal will be conducted in order for Providence to discuss student needs.
