Explore/Placement Testing for Incoming Freshman

Any student* planning to attend Hall High School as a freshman must take the Explore test. The results will be used to place students in the appropriate freshman classes during high school registration.

The results of this test will also provide the student with the answers to 3 very important questions:
1. How do I compare academically to other students at my grade level in English, Math, Reading and Science?
2. Am I taking the courses needed to be on track for college?
3. What careers match my current interests?

For more information about the Explore test you can visit the web sites below.

* Students who move into the Hall H. S. area after the test day or miss the testing for other reasons must contact the freshman counselor, Mrs. Theresa Bernabei, to determine if/when a make-up test will be scheduled.
