Academic Overview

Using a combination of formative and summative assessments, teachers progress monitor student learning and differentiate instruction in order to meet each student's learning needs to achieve grade-level standards.  Our grading scale reflects our high standards, preparing students thoroughly for their academic futures.

• A:  100 – 90
• B:   89 – 80
• C:   79 – 70
• D:   69 – 60

• F:    59 and below

We assess the academic progress of students from kindergarten through 8th grade annually using Terranova standardized tests. These assessments measure each student's achievement and growth, providing predictive data to ensure that each child is meeting their grade-level standards and reaching their highest learning potential.  

St. Agnes actively integrates technology into the everyday learning environment. We utilize the latest educational technology tools, including a one-to-one iPad program in middle school, as well as computers and interactive SMART boards in each classroom. Our goal is to provide students with an understanding of the technological culture that is evident in their daily lives, and help them acquire necessary technical skills through real-world application.

St. Agnes also has an Academic Pullout program, which provides personalized attention and targeted support, for students who need additional assistance or non-traditional teaching strategies. As a result, students are more engaged in their learning process and improve their academic performance. This program mainly focuses on remedial language arts and study skills. 

Graduates from St. Agnes consistently gain acceptance at prestigious high schools such as: Immaculata La Salle High School, Our Lady of Lourdes Academy, Belen Jesuit Preparatory School, Carrollton School of the Sacred Heart, Christopher Columbus High School, Gulliver Preparatory School, Palmer Trinity School, Ransom Everglades, and The Cushman School, among others.
