Admissions
St. Pius X welcomes students of all faiths and backgrounds to apply. Prospective incoming freshmen and transfer students should review the “How to Enroll” page for application information. We also accept senior year admissions, but only students transferring from other Catholic high schools are considered.An applicant to the freshmen class must have satisfactorily completed the eighth grade or its equivalent. SPX accepts applicants on the basis of our placement test, previous academic performance (grades and standardized test scores), the recommendation of teachers, and the promise of the student’s future development in the areas of the school's mission as a Catholic college preparatory school.

The HSPT requires about 4 hours to complete, and tests verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, reading comprehension, math skills, language arts skills, and science. Students should bring two no. 2 pencils, a bottle of water, and a snack. Calculators are not allowed. For more information, visit the HSPT page by clicking here.
