The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) is required for all applicants entering 1st grade. The test must be administered by a licensed diagnostician or psychologist. Trafton requires applicants to submit current testing (no more than one year from the date of administration). Trafton partners with Tami Renfro of Educational Specialists, LLC. Please contact her to schedule testing. She may be reached at 713-461-7996 or tamiclark1@gmail.com. Please download her introductory letter and student/family information form.

Trafton requires applicants to submit current testing (no more than six months from administration). You may submit two ISEE tests for admission. Testing must be completed by February 7, 2025.
Teacher Recommendation Form
A completed teacher recommendation form is required for applicants currently enrolled in school. Forms should be submitted to the Admissions Office by February 7, 2025. You may electronically send the recommendation form to the teacher within the online application portal or print a copy for the teacher to complete. All recommendation forms are confidential between the student's teacher and the Admissions Office. We ask that recommendations be submitted after December 1st in order to allow adequate time for teachers to get to know students during the fall semester.
