Walter Payton College Prep High School

Securing a spot at Walter Payton College Prep is exceptionally challenging. As Chicago's most selective public high school, successful applicants have historically needed near-perfect scores on the 900-point scale, often with cutoffs at 898 or higher. While the bar is set at the highest level, remember that a perfect score is achieved by students every year. A disciplined preparation strategy is non-negotiable. Elevate your child's chances by using our CPS HSAT Practice Tests to simulate the high-stakes environment and refine the skills needed to compete for one of these coveted seats.
