Admissions Policy

Admission to Archbishop Rummel High School is open to applicants who have indicated their ability to follow the course of studies provided by Archbishop Rummel and whose conduct has been such to recommend them.

All prospective eighth graders and freshmen wishing to apply for admission for the 2007-2008 school year must submit a completed Archdiocesan Application by Friday, November 17, 2006. The completed application form must be returned to the applicant’s grammar school for a transcript of grades.

Ordinarily, all applicants for initial admission are selected according to evaluation of cumulative records and standardized test scores from elementary schools. Applicants to the eighth and ninth grades must meet the following requirements: favorable recommendations from principals of previous schools, satisfactory conduct and effort grades, and passing all subjects.

A placement examination for prospective eighth graders and freshmen will be given on Saturday, January 13, 2007, at Archbishop Rummel High School.

Applicants from non parochial schools applying for admission must submit the completed archdiocesan application card, standardized test scores, and teacher and counselor recommendations from the school of current attendance.

All new upperclassmen applicants must submit a completed application form, standardized test scores, teacher and counselor recommendations along with a transcript from the school of current attendance.

Admissions preference in the eighth grade and freshman year is given to Catholics, students currently in parochial schools or religious education programs, siblings of current students or alumni, and children of alumni.

Transfers from local high schools will not be admitted for the senior year. Only students transferring from high schools outside the metropolitan area will be considered for admittance in the senior year.

Applications for enrollment in grades higher than ninth necessarily are based on openings available and on Archbishop Rummel's ability to fit the student into the school's curriculum. All such applicants require an interview with the Admissions Director.

Archbishop Rummel High School admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs
