Applicants for the Incoming Freshman Class:

Incoming freshmen: QPHS uses the COOP Admissions process which consists of the COOP Exam and the Ninth Grade Applicant Record. There is, however, an additional Admissions Application which should be completed and returned directly to QPHS by the applicant. This form is available from the school or by DOWNLOAD or may be completed ONLINE. There are no additional application fees.

Incoming freshmen must take the Cooperative Admissions Exam (COOP), an Archdiocesan-sponsored standard test administered by CTB-McGraw Hill. This exam will be administered on Friday, November 9, 2007. The application for the exam is due to CTB-McGraw Hill in early October. Specific dates are published in the COOP Student Handbook and are available from the Archdiocese of Newark website at http://www.rcan.org/schools/hsadmission3.html. The application for the COOP exam is available through Catholic Elementary Schools, local parishes and Queen of Peace High School. The fee for the exam is $40.00 (subject to change).

The COOP Web site is www.coopexam.org and the phone number for the COOP Hotline is 1-888-921-2667 or 1-888-921-COOP. The COOP e-mail assistance address is support@coopexam.org.

Available with the COOP application is the Ninth Grade Applicant Record Release Form. A parent/guardian should give this form to the child's elementary school principal, guidance counselor or teacher. This allows QPHS to receive a copy of the student's academic records and standardized test scores.

Students will be evaluated through these records - student's 6th, 7th and 8th grade (first marking period) performance and previous standardized testing results - and the Cooperative Admissions Exam.

Students receive admissions decisions by mail. The date that these letters are mailed is set by the Archdiocese, sometime in mid-January. This date is published each year in the COOP Student Handbook. Registration for incoming freshmen is held on the first Saturday in February. This year the registration date for the 9th Grade, Class of 2012, is Saturday, February 2, 2008.

Catholic School Students should complete the COOP process in conjunction with your elementary school.
