Standardized Testing
The school administers the STAR test three times a year beginning in early September. Each test session takes approximately sixty to ninety minutes. These test results are used to assess student progress and to evaluate curriculum. The STAR test results are sent home to parents after each test session.
A permanent record of the scores is placed in each student's cumulative record folder. Group standardized tests are not used as the sole tool for making important educational decisions about individual students. Scores will be discussed at Parent Teacher Conferences.
A.C.R.E. (Assessment of Catholic Religious Education) is administered to Grades 5 and 8 in January or February. This test identifies class/school strengths and areas for growth for curriculum planning.
