Measuring Success
Today’s society is focused on teaching children to test well. Even though, Sts. Peter and Paul School cautions those who would place too much emphasis on standardized testing, we appreciate and participate in standardized testing as one way to measure success. We use a nationally recognized state test called ISTEP+. It is a nationally standardized achievement test that is given to students in Grades 3, 4, and 5. Students are assessed in reading, language, math, social studies and science. Our students have consistently scored well above the national average on this test. Sts. Peter and Paul School is currently listed with an "A" status under AYP with the state of Indiana.
At Sts. Peter and Paul School we are more concerned about the individual progress of each child. The size of our student body allows our teachers to individualize lesson plans around the strengths and challenges that our students face. Our goal is to take each student to the next level of learning.
One of the best measures of an elementary school is how their students perform in high school. We continually receive positive comments from local high schools about how well our students are prepared.
You are encouraged to further discuss how we measure success with our principal Kalyn Herrmann. You can email her at kherrmann@evdio.org.
