High School Placement Test

All students entering 9th grade at a District 211 school must take a placement test. Students will be placed in high school classes using placement test results and recommendations from junior high school teachers.

Students will be taking the EXPLORE Test, part of the ACT Test series. The test includes the following sub-areas:

Interest Inventory, English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science
