Student Academic Performance Indicators
The schools of the Diocese of Metuchen promote academic excellence supported by quality educational programs. As with all Catholic schools, our alumni reports show that many of our graduates have become community leaders at the local, state and national levels. Our schools have a dropout rate of less that 1% and an accept rate of 97% for those entering institutions of higher learning.
Student achievement is assessed through a battery of standardized tests that include CTB Terra Nova, Writing Assessment, PSAT, SAT, AP Exams and teacher-generated tests. Through assessments, students’ test results are compared with the standards of academic performance. Our test scores show steady, consistent student progress toward academic excellence.
