Accommodations and testing setup at Louisville High School
If your child has an IEP, 504 plan, ADHD, dyslexia, anxiety, or another documented need, ask Louisville High School’s admissions office how HSPT accommodations are approved before registration closes. Start with the HSPT accommodations guide, then confirm whether the school handles extended time, separate room or small group testing, ADHD accommodations, dyslexia accommodations, and documentation through the school or the diocese.
How to prepare for the Louisville High School entrance exam
Confirm with Louisville High School’s admissions office which entrance exam the current cycle uses before treating the HSPT as required. If the school does use the HSPT, a free HSPT diagnostic is a useful baseline.
- Start 8–12 weeks before the exam date. Short daily practice builds the speed the HSPT’s pacing demands.
- Practice the unfamiliar question types first. Analogies, number series, and logic items aren’t taught in most middle schools — they’re the fastest points to gain.
- Treat the first sitting as the only sitting. Most schools accept one attempt, and at many schools the score also drives merit scholarships.
