Understanding the rubric is the first step to a competitive application.
Make sure that you and your child attend at least one open house offered by the district in the fall, as it is a required step when applying. You can visit more than one session, but you must attend the session for the school you are applying to.

While test scores are most important, it's imperative that your child's transcripts are strong. Many of our applicants already had 28–29 out of 30 points from transcripts alone. A minimum score of 89% (62–63 out of 70) on the test is recommended to be competitive. Information adapted from official source.
