We are proud to announce that Saint Helena School has been recognized by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia as a School of Distinguished Instruction in both growth and exceeding potential.
Growth was determined by comparing the Normal Curve Equivalent score from this year’s testing to the NCE examinations taken by students in the previous academic year. St. Helena was found to have shown a full year’s growth in the total mastery of skills at every level tested using comparative NCE data.
Recognition for Exceeding Potential was determined by analyzing the data from the ability testing (InView) and the achievement testing (Terra Nova). St. Helena was found to have a majority of the classes meeting or exceeding their potential in all content areas at every level tested with a growth rate exceeding 80%.
Thank you to our teachers, our students, and our families for this achievement! Archdiocese of Philadelphia Schools - AOPS
