Standardized Testing
The Academy of Our Lady of Peace, as part of the Archdiocese of Newark,
takes part in the TerraNova national standardized assessment program.The TerraNova, Third edition, Assessment, published by CTB-McGraw Hill, is aligned with the archdiocesan curricula and NJ state standards. This battery of tests is given to students in both public and private schools across the country. The information that is learned from this assessment not only helps us to understand student progress, it also helps us to continually fine tune our academic curriculum. Below is a chart depicting the Reading, Language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies achievements of our students in Grades 1 to 7 for the 2010-2011 school year. Grade 8 is not included in the chart because those students partake in another test called the COOP exam which is used for entrance into private Catholic high schools.
As you can see, we are consistently above the National average (50th
Percentile) in all subjects for all grades tested.
Congratulations to our students on a job well done!
