[edit] Admission
In order to attend the high school, one must first take an entrance exam. The exam, held in November, lasts about three and one half hours and covers a variety of topics, including logic, English and math. A written application process along with short essay questions accompanies the exam. Most prospective students shadow a freshman girl during the selection process or after admission. If a girl is selected, she is sent a letter of acceptance in January.[2]

In 2011, Nardin was listed as the number one school in Buffalo, New York for the tenth consecutive year.[3]
