What criteria are used to select Saint Ignatius students?
The entrance exam score is very important because our applicant pool is always a very large, diverse group of students from all over the Chicago land area. We use a pre-admission form that we receive from grade schools that indicates 7th and 8th grade grades, attendance, previous standardized testing, and discipline. Other considerations in the admission process include but are not limited to: Catholic heritage/school, family legacy/tradition with the school (sibling/parent), and adherence to policies of the school. Saint Ignatius strives to promote a 50/50 male/female population. Saint Ignatius admits students without regard to race, color, and/or country of national origin.
