[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find this very interesting.  When my child gets to 8th grade, they limit his selection for applying to 2 catholic schools.  Which schools are they?  I didn't think G. Prep was part of that but not sure why now based on your post.[/quote]
The following Catholic high schools use the Archdiocese's own High School Placement Test in their admissions process:
The Academy of the Holy Cross
Archbishop Carroll High School
Bishop McNamara High School
Elizabeth Seton High School
Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School
DeMatha Catholic High School
Gonzaga College High School
Our Lady of Good Counsel High School
St. John’s College High School
St. Mary’s Ryken High School
St. Vincent Pallotti High School

You can only select two of these schools to receive your child's test scores; the Archdiocese will not send the scores to more than two of these schools.  The rest of the admissions process (recommendations, interviews, essays) are separate for each school.  There is no "common application" for Catholic high schools, just a common test that the 11 schools listed above use.  The Archdiocese's test is administered in school for 8th graders in Catholic schools.  If your child is not enrolled in a Catholic school, he or she would take the test at the school(s) to which s/he is applying on a Saturday morning, just as at any other private school.

The other Catholic high schools, including Stone Ridge, St. Anselm's, Prep, etc. administer their own admissions tests.  You apply to these schools the same way you would a non-Catholic school.

Note also that none of this applies to schools in NoVa, which are under the Diocese of Arlington and have their own rules.
