Academic excellence doesn’t happen in isolation.
Notre Dame School students consistently achieve an average 72% academic proficiency in reading and math, compared with 49% across Chico-area schools.
But the numbers tell only part of the story.
The environment your child learns in matters. When students are surrounded by classmates who are engaged, challenged, and pursuing academic excellence, those expectations become part of the culture.
And at Notre Dame, not only are the majority of our students academically proficient, many are performing well above grade level.
Small classes. Big Results.
Expect more.
For this comparison, we averaged three years of Junior High reading and math proficiency data and compared Notre Dame with Chico Unified School District, Durham Unified School District, Chico Country Day School, and Nord Country School. Source: EdSource.
