Which Catholic high schools in Seattle require the HSPT?

 If you’re applying to any of Seattle’s top Catholic high schools, chances are you’ll be meeting the HSPT sooner rather than later. Schools like Bishop Blanchet High School, O’Dea High School, and Holy Names Academy all use the HSPT to assess applicants. And while some schools don’t shout about score cutoffs, make no mistake—strong performance matters.

These schools want students who can keep up academically and fit into their faith-based, values-driven communities. A great HSPT score shows you’re ready for that challenge. It signals to admissions teams that your child isn’t just smart—they’re serious.

And let’s be honest, in a competitive city like Seattle, “just okay” won’t cut it. So yes, the HSPT is a big deal. The good news? You’ve got time to get ahead of the curve—and we’re here to make sure you do it right, from first diagnostic to final practice test.
