Selective Enrollment High Schools Tiebreaker (from CPS.edu/oae)
Given the significant number of students who apply and test for the Selective Enrollment High Schools, there are many who achieve the same number of total points. To differentiate between students with the same final point score, tiebreakers are used. These include areas such as the core percentile on the entrance exam, and the individual sections of the exam. The specific order of the tiebreaker is as follows:
Core Total
Math
Reading Comprehension
Vocabulary
Language Arts
Utilization of this method allows us to rank students who have the same final point score.
