Want to send your child to a Chicago Selective Enrollment High School? Standardized test scores are the key to getting your child into one of these top schools.

Today’s high school admissions process is more competitive than ever. Only 17% of students that apply are accepted into one of the Chicago Selective Enrollment High Schools. The average GPA for all Selective Enrollment High Schools is about 3.7, but even superior grades and great 7^th grade standardized test scores will not guarantee acceptance.

Our classes prepare 8^th grade students for the Selective Enrollment Entrance Exam, Catholic School Entrance Exams or Private School Entrance exams. Our results are guaranteed!

Ace Tutoring gives 8^th grade students the skills and tools needed to master the Selective Enrollment Exam, the Catholic High School Entrance Exams, or the Private School Entrance Exams.  Our specially-designed sessions enable students to improve their results on the Language Arts, Reading Comprehension and Math portions of the exam.  We help to increase their self-confidence by giving students the knowledge to take the test in a more relaxed and assured manner.  In turn, the student can perform his best on test day!
