GoCPS SY21-22 High School Application Process Introduction:
GoCps High School Process - Parent Meeting 10-8-20
Activation Code
The Activation Code letters were mailed to parents' home addresses on Friday, September 25th. If you did not receive your Activation Code email Mrs. Doughty at madoughty@cps.edu.
Point Calculation Tool
The Selective Enrollment High Schools Point Calculation Tool is now updated and is available here, at go.cps.edu, under 'High School' and 'Resources.' The Point Calculation Tool allows families to enter a student's NWEA MAP scores, seventh grade grades, and tier, and see a range of points that a student may need to achieve on the admissions exam for a possible Selective Enrollment High Schools offer. Please be aware that the tool is only to be used as guidance regarding the schools to which a family may want to apply, and is not a predictor of whether or not a student can receive an offer from any given school.
Creating and Activating Accounts
The application period for the 2021-2022 school year opens on October 12th at 9 am. This is the first day that accounts can be created and students can be activated. The application period closes on December 11th at 11:59 pm.
