2009-2010 Achievement Test Results

In April 2010, St. Frances Cabrini School administered the Iowa Test of Basic Skills to students in grades 2-7. Below is the report of averages for each grade. Achievement test scores are reported in percentiles (not percentages). The scores below compare SFC to schools across the nation.

Achievement tests provide the staff with ongoing assessment of our curriculum. Next year the teachers will consult these scores, the scores for their class and each student in the class, to determine how to best meet individual and class needs.

We have reason to be proud of our school. Of course, we will continue to work towards academic excellence at St. Frances Cabrini School.

"What greater work is there than training the mind and forming the habits of the young."

-St. John Chrysostom

 

 

"Teaching lays the foundation for Faith and life in our children. The major reason for our school's existence is to develop Christ-like people. The methods have changed over the years. Instead of the old stories of teachers who smacked the student's knuckles with rulers, today we develop an atmosphere of close relationships, a strong supporting environment. Instead of old-fashion teaching, we teach our students to live out their Christian beliefs through service to others, unity in diversity, hope and sharing in the midst of a demanding materialistic world."

-- Stephanie Van Leuven (Former Principal, St. Frances Cabrini School)
