Let's Talk Student Data and Growth:
At the start of the 23-24 school year, the Diocese of Green Bay switched from the NWEA MAPS Assessment platform to the Renaissance STAR 360 testing. St. Clare students took this assessment in the Fall, Winter, and Spring terms. Well, the data is in and I am SO PROUD of all that our teachers and students have accomplished.
If you like to crunch the numbers, like I do, then let me show you the results of the impact of high quality Catholic education. Here are just a few of the amazing highlights, but know that the student specific results will be sent home in the family folders on Tuesday.
According to the State of Wisconsin the standard benchmark in Reading is 39.1% and for Math, it is 46.8%. The St. Clare Disciples are out performing both of these benchmarks IN EVERY GRADE K-8 by massive leaps!
80% of our 1st graders are READING At or Above Grade Level! 93% of our 1st graders are AT or Above Grade Level in MATH!
81% of our 2nd graders are READING At or Above Grade Level!
Over 80-93% of our students IN EVERY GRADE K-8 are AT OR ABOVE their expected performance level in MATH! That's almost 40% more, on average, higher than the state benchmark for Math.
Over 60%-81% of our students in EVERY GRADE K-8 are AT OR ABOVE their expected performance in READING! That's an average of 31.4% higher than the state benchmark for Reading.
These data points are just a a small shoutout that proves the immeasurable dedication, collaboration, and supportive community that exists at St. Clare's. Our teachers have a standards-aligned and vertically supported curriculum that is faith-based, value-centric, and academically engaging for each of our grades. We are honored and proud of the work that we do, the growth of our students, and the impact we have on growing strong, healthy, and intellectual families.
