Application Procedure (Application follows this information)

 

Please read below about changes to the SHHS Pre-IB/Honors admission process for 8th graders:

 

Dear Prospective Sunny Hills Students and Families, 

​

Last year we analyzed the data from the local feeder school 8th-grade students who took the SHHS Pre-IB placement test. In comparing the results of our SHHS Pre-IB/Honors placement tests with the students’ 8th-grade iReady scores, we found that the students’ iReady scores in English and math in addition to CAASPP data and current grades are accurate predictors of readiness for our SHHS Pre-IB program. 

​​

Because of this, students who attend FJUHSD public attendance-area schools (schools in the BPSD, FSD, LHCSD, and LJSD districts) will submit their most recent iReady scores instead of taking a test in January. We will confirm the scores with your junior high school or middle school. 

 

For students applying to our SHHS Pre-IB/Honors program from private schools, home school, or public schools outside of our FJUHSD attendance area, we will still offer a placement test so we can make a recommendation for placement in academic classes for the next school year. 

 

SHHS Pre-IB/Honors Admission Process

 

• All students: Collect the following before filling out the application: Latest grade report card, CAASPP Test Scores (7th Grade), — If you are coming from a school that does not offer the CAASPP then you may leave the scores blank and upload a copy of your scores report for the standardized test you did take, i.e. Stanford 9, etc. The registration form can collect electronic versions of these 2 reports. Please upload the files in PDF, JPG, PNG, or DOC format. We will not be taking physical copies this year. 

• When filling out the application you must use your LEGAL NAME on all information submitted (application, exam, etc).

• After submission, you will receive an email to verify that the application has been properly submitted. All correspondence, reminders, news, and acceptance decisions will be communicated electronically, therefore a valid email address must be used. If you have any questions contact the following email: srosenkranz@fjuhsd.org.

• For students who attend FJUHSD attendance area public schools: Make sure you have the most recent 8th grade iReady scores for English and math. Complete and submit the online application below by 11:59 pm, January 14th, 2025. Results for students who attend FJUHSD attendance area public schools will be sent on a rolling schedule, early December, January and February, depending on the time you fill out the form below. 

• For private school students, or out-of-district attendance area public school students, or homeschool students: the application deadline for the January 11th test date is January 7th at 11:59 pm, and the deadline for the January 18th test is January 14th at 11:59 pm (The application is ONLY available online and must be submitted through this site). Follow this link for test day information. Results for homeschool, private school, or out-of-district public school students will be sent by the last week of January 2025.

​

Other Important Information

​

• False information will disqualify your examination. Provide documentation of current and past behavioral and academic performance by submitting the most recent eighth-grade report card. 

• For most students, this will be your quarter grade as semester grades will not be mailed until the end of January. Be prepared to submit a semester report card upon request.

• For students whose homeschool is not Sunny Hills or who are transferring from districts outside of Fullerton Joint Union, the first step for enrollment is to obtain a Intra/Inter District transfer permit from their home high school of residence.  Please use the SHHS Pre-IB /Honors acceptance/qualifying letter to begin the transfer process. Once Sunny Hills High School has received the original copy of the permit and both schools have approved the transfer, the guidance office will contact families to come pick up a registration packet to complete enrollment and class registration. Students' who attempt simultaneous enrollment with Sunny Hills and other high schools will disqualify him/her from the Sunny Hills 2025-2026 freshman class. If an acceptance offer has been extended, it will be rescinded, and the students' place will be forfeited. For any questions regarding the permit process, please contact the guidance office at (714) 626-4208.
