St. Ursula School Academic Excellence
last updated 6/26/08
Academic
Excellence
Academic excellence is a priority at St. Ursula School. Yearly,
students in grades two through eight take the Terra Nova Tests in academic
subjects and grades five and eight take a religion test. Our students
consistently score above the national norms on standardized tests. And the
longer a child stays at St. Ursula, the higher above the national average each
student scores. The small class size enables dedicated teachers to work closely
with students to challenge, support and reinforce learning. We are proud to
publish our results. Our class average test results are shown below.
How do I interpret these scores?
Tests for this school year were administered the first week of March.
The expected norm for each class is the grade number followed by the month.
Therefore a score of 2.6 equates to 2nd grade in the 6th month. Across all
categories and all grades for the 2007-2008, as well as previous years, St.
Ursula class averages have exceeded their grade norms.
