ACRE Test Results For SY 2009-2010

Wonderful news for our 5th & 8th students and parents, and Religion Department!

Last January 2010, grades 5 and 8 took the National Catholic Education Association Assessment of Catechesis / Religious Education (NCEA ACRE) test. The summary provided by the NCEA ACRE reveals the strengths and weaknesses of the students’ comprehension of religious knowledge and attitudes toward faith.

We are very pleased to report that most of our students’ scores are above the national average. Below is the summary of report.
