For Parents section:
Advance Placement: Information and applications for Advanced Placement Testing for the 2010-2011 school year are available outside the counseling office or online at www.seattleschools.org/area/advlearning/index.xml The deadline for application is October 8th. This is the exam that qualifies students for the Spectrum and APP (Accelerated Progress Program) programs.
Johns Hopkins Talent Search: Johns Hopkins University offers the opportunity for 6th, 7th and 8th graders to take the SAT and the ACT. If your student has scored at the 95th percentile or above on his/her most recent or next-most-recent nationally-normed test such as the ITBS, or at the highest level of the WASL (score of 4), he/she is eligible to take the tests. Students need to show only one acceptable total score or reasoning subtest score.
Talent search applications must be postmarked by October 1st for 7th and 8th graders to take the December ACT or SAT, and by November 20th for 7th and 8th graders to take the January and February tests. 6th grade applications must be postmarked by November 20th for the SCAT test.
Talent Search Applications are available in the main office and the Counseling Center. Financial aid is available to those families who qualify for free or reduced lunch. See your Counselor for a financial aid application.
