-- CHICAGO,IL SELECTIVE ENROLLMENT--

Hello i'm here to give you some information about selective enrollment. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT 7TH AND 8TH GRADERS READ THIS ( mostly 7th graders if you're interested) :)

There is ONLY 10 selective enrollment high schools, so choose wisely. these ten high schools are: labeled from the best to not so best selective enrollment high schools

1.Walter Payton

2.Whitney Young

3.Northside College Prep

4.Lane Tech

5.Jones College Prep

6.Westinghouse High school

7..Brooks College Prep

8.King College Prep

9.Lindblom Math and Science Academy

10. South Shore Intl High School

Even though these schools are labeled 1-10 ALL of these schools have HIGH EXPECTATIONS.So I encourage you to do your best. Eligibility First off in order to begin to apply to these schools you have to be eligible. In order for you to be eligible they base it off of your 7th grade NWEA scores. If you have not taken the NWEA test you NEED to take it(you can go on cps.edu and schedule one). Also even though you are eligible you still might not get selected into that school(s) you've chosen.This is because when the schools are going over your application they look at your grades and your ISAT testing scores. If you know for a fact you didn't do well then your chances are slimmer for getting into an selective enrollment school you chose to attend. Where if you did outstanding on you ISAT and had good grades, your chances are higher. BUT!!don't get too cocky because you are still competing with other children for a seat at that certain school. Testing Once you receive your eligibility letter, you have to take a test. This test is called simply as it it: the Selective Enrollment Test. Pretty simple huh? well just the name the actual test may be difficult for others.In this test they will be testing everything from k-8 (kindergarten through eighth grade.While you are taking this test you aren't allowed to bring ANYTHING!( no purses, food, calculator, etc.) Only thing you have to bring is yourself.You might think it doesn't really matter, but before you take the test, make sure you have eaten a FULL, NUTRITIONAL MEAL!! Because this test is 3 HOURS!!
