Data Driven
To measure student success, we use the following assessments:
- Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA): Measure of Academic Progress (MAP)
- College Board: Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT), Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT), Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)
- National Catholic Education Association: Information for Growth: Assessment of Children/Youth Religious Education (IFG:ACRE)
We use our student data to drive our instruction. Observing student assessment data allows us to see gaps within our students’ education and draw focus to areas where students may need additional support or instruction.
