With nearly 100% of AACS students taking the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills, our results consistently demonstrate a proficiency in skills that is well above the national average for both public and private schools. Our most recent composite grade equivalent results were as follows for the years listed. Gr is Grade Level. CGE is Composite Grade Equivalent.
Gr 1, National CGE = 1.7, AACS CGE = 2.6
Gr 2, National CGE = 2.7, AACS CGE = 4.0
Gr 3, National CGE = 3.7, AACS CGE = 5.0
Gr 4, National CGE = 4.7, AACS CGE = 6.9
Gr 5, National CGE = 5.7, AACS CGE = 9.1
Gr 6, National CGE = 6.7, AACS CGE = 10.5
Gr 7, National CGE = 7.7, AACS CGE = 12.5
Gr 8, National CGE = 8.7, AACS CGE = 13.0 +
As you can see above, the national average for each grade level's CGE is that grade level plus point seven (.7). For example, the national average for third grade CGE is 3.7 and fourth grade is 4.7. As you can observe in our classrooms each day and via our annual national testing results, students at AACS have outstanding academic achievement. We attribute this to several key components of our daily school life:
effective prayer,
teaching the whole child,
the teacher-created curriculum,
great parental involvement, and
our thorough focus on God in all areas of study.
