HSPT Prep in Los Angeles, CA
Families applying to Catholic high schools in Los Angeles ask about the HSPT before most other questions. Our directory lists seven Catholic high schools in the city itself, and Cathedral High School, Marymount High School, and Loyola High School all have HSPT admissions details in our reviewed school records — Loyola, the oldest high school in Southern California, tests in January and runs its application through the FinalSite portal. Confirm the current cycle’s test dates and registration process with each school’s admissions office before planning around them.
Loyola High School HSPT & admissions info
This link opens HSPT Prep’s admissions guide for Loyola — our reviewed record of the school’s exam dates, application steps, and requirements.
Most Catholic high schools give the HSPT between mid-November and mid-January of 8th grade. Loyola tests in January — most recently January 9, 16, or 23, 2027 — and the other Los Angeles schools post their own dates each cycle, so plan prep around the earliest date on your list rather than assuming one shared sitting.
Planning a Catholic high school application
Entrance-test rules are set by the school or diocese and can differ even within the same city. Check each school’s admissions site before registering. If a school is confirmed in our HSPT guide, its directory page links directly to the current admissions and preparation notes.
- Confirm whether each school requires the HSPT or another entrance test for the current cycle.
- Record application, transcript, recommendation, financial-aid, and scholarship deadlines separately.
- Ask whether one HSPT sitting can be shared with other schools in the same diocese.
- Compare the daily commute as well as tuition, aid, academic programs, and school size.
