Does Rye Country Day School require standardized testing?

Yes, Rye Country Day School does require standardized testing, but it’s not a one-size-fits-all situation. Applicants for Grades 3 and 4 take the ISEE Primary, while students applying to Grades 5 through 12 can choose between the SSAT and ISEE—RCDS views them equally, so pick the one that plays to your child’s strengths. For the younger crowd, Pre-K through Grade 2, there’s no formal test, just a friendly on-campus assessment to see how your child learns and engages. Families handle the test registration and score submissions, so be sure to list RCDS as a recipient. It’s less about test tricks and more about giving the school a fuller picture of your child.
