Admissions to Capitol Hill

If you have questions about admissions to Capitol Hill Magnet School, call the St. Paul Public Schools (SPPS) Student Placement Office at (651) 632 3760.

Grades 1 – 6 General Information

SPPS utilizes the Naglieri Non-verbal Ability Test (NNAT2) to identify students who are eligible for gifted and talented services within the school district. All SPPS students in kindergarten and second grade take this test. Students in grades 1, 3, 4 and 5 may also be nominated to receive special permission to take the test based on their high test scores and outstanding school work. There are also days set aside for non-public and charter school students to take the assessment.

Students who are identified to be gifted and talented are then eligible for gifted/talented services at any St. Paul Public School. They are also eligible for Capitol Hill Magnet School.

If student applications exceed Capitol Hill Magnet School's openings, applicants are drawn from the pool to fill the openings. The remaining applications are placed on a waiting list.

Contact the district Gifted & Talented Services office for more information at (651) 744 1303.
