Testing	and	Assessments 
The	school	follows	the	standardized	testing	program	as	directed	by	the	Archdiocesan	
Department	of	Catholic	Schools.		Students	in	grades	5	& 8	take	the	Assessment	of	Catholic	
Religious	Education	(ACRE)	in	the	winter.		Students	in	grades	K-8	take	the	STAR	reading	and	
math	assessments	three times	a	year	to	measure	growth	and	the	achievement	of	standards in	
both	subjects.	The	school	encourages	parents	to	help	prepare	their	students	for	these	tests	by	
getting	plenty	of	rest,	eating	a	nutritious	breakfast,	and	getting	to	school	on	time.
