High School Placements
St. Paul's students are sought by the top tier of high schools.
To prepare and support eighth graders and their parents in the high school application process, the Director of Middle School leads a comprehensive application process program.
At the beginning of the year, eighth graders take a course in high school planning. With their parents, the students meet individually with the Director of Middle School to plan an application strategy.
The Middle School faculty work with the students on written and oral representations of themselves for the interview process.
The eighth graders from the classes of 2008 and 2007 have applied and been accepted to the following high schools:
