Catholic schools educate students to become self-directed, responsible faith-filled adults. The faculty makes use of a system of assessment, which is a network of many forms of evaluation and is used in conjunction with other aspects of the student’s academic life. Part of assessment includes evaluation of the curriculum and the programs that contribute toward the total development of the child. In all areas of current assessment, we stress that the results and scores derived are only one element that is considered in determining a student’s academic performance and progress. Many factors are considered, and care is taken to keep the welfare of the “whole child” in mind. St. Euphrasia School utilizes the STAR formative assessment system (approved by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles Department of Catholic Schools) for all students, Gr. TK-8.
 
All students in grades 2-8 participate in the STAR benchmark assessment program for the subjects of ELA and Math. These assessments take place in the fall, winter and spring of each school year. The benchmark assessments are considered “formative” (an assessment of how a student is mastering the content of their specific grade level expectations), and instruction is adjusted by teachers to ensure grade level mastery for the students they teach. This information is also used to help guide remediation, support and to avoid the “re-teaching” of content that students have already mastered. The Assessment of Catholic Religious Education (ACRE) is administered to students in grades 5 and 8 each year. The assessment is designed to assess the religious knowledge and outcomes of Catholic schools and parish religion programs.​​
