Does Riordan require the SSAT or ISEE for admissions?

No, Archbishop Riordan High School does not require applicants to take the SSAT or ISEE. These standardized tests, which are commonly required by other private schools, are not part of Riordan’s admissions criteria. Instead, applicants must take the High School Placement Test (HSPT). The HSPT is widely used by Catholic and private high schools to test academic readiness and determine course placement. Since Riordan does not accept SSAT or ISEE scores, students should focus on preparing specifically for the HSPT to strengthen their application and improve their chances of admission. Aside from HSPT, there are no test-related requirements besides the English Proficiency test.
