Standardized Testing

If your student is applying for regular admission and is currently enrolled in Stratford Middle School, we are happy to review their CTP scores from the end of Grade 7 in place of the ISEE or SSAT scores. However, if your child would like to submit additional test scores to enhance their application, they are welcome to do so.
