4-stars2

The Indiana Department of Educations – IDOE – established the 25th percentile cut score for combined passing percentages of English/Language Arts and Mathematics as well as the percent of students passing both for all grades tested. In addition to meeting these criteria, all Four Star Schools must meet the 95 percent student participation rate.

The fact that Holy Family school met these high expectations is evidence of the hard work demonstrated daily by parents,  staff and students.

OLPH and Providence, from the New Albany Deanery also made this list!
