Standardized Test Scores
Our rigorous coursework prepares our students well for the standardized tests that they are required to take. We are very proud of the fact that our students consistently score the highest in the area (Ionia County plus Fowler and Pewamo-Westphalia). Over 95% of our graduating students go on to college. Our elementary and middle school students are tested with MAP tests; juniors take the SAT.
MAP Testing
Elementary and middle school students are tested three times a year using MAP Testing. Student MAP testing results are reported in RIT scores (short for Rasch Unit). A RIT score is an estimation of a student’s instructional level and also measures student progress or growth in school.
At St. Patrick School, our students are tested in the following subjects:
- K-2: Reading and Math
- 3-5: Reading, Math, and Language Arts
- 6-8: Reading, Math, Language Arts, and Science
St. Patrick juniors and seniors take the PSAT every October and Juniors take the SAT every March. Students are able to take it right here at our school. The school counselor will sign students up and is in charge of coordinating and proctoring this test. Students will need to sign up for a College Board account at www.collegeboard.org and will be able to view their scores about three weeks after they take the test.
