Standardized Testing
Testing Overview


A wide range of schools, both public and private, across the United States use this program. Students in Grades K- 8 at Saint Anselm Catholic School participate; Grades 1-8 take Math, Grades K-1 take Early Literacy, and Grades 2-8 take Reading.
St. Anselm Catholic School students tend to perform very well on these tests. Individual student results are provided to parents and may be used, in conjunction with report cards and teacher feedback to indicate areas of strength or opportunities for improvement. Individual student performance is affected by numerous factors on any given day and no single test should be used to characterize a students overall performance.
Our students take the Star Renaissance tests three times per year- in the Fall, Winter and Spring. Currently, our students are testing above grade level in Math and Reading. Our eighth grade class is currently testing at an 11th grade Math level and an 11th grade Reading level. Over 76% of our entire school population is testing at least one grade level higher in both Math and Reading.
