Holy Redeemer prepared my child for college! She learned all of her great study skills and developed a great attitude toward school from the wonderful teachers at Holy Redeemer! She is now being offered scholarships and direct entry into a college honors program. Excellent school!

I have a daughter that is now in high school. She attended Holy Redeemer for grades K-8 and was more than ready for the challenges of a private highschool! The Holy Redeemer teachers did an awesome job preparing her!

The level of parental involvement is high. The teachers do a good job of educating the kids. Feedback from teachers to parents is good as well. Sports is above average and the extra curricular activities are well planned.

Holy Redeemer provides an excellent learning environment for my children. During these times, it is rare to find teachers that really care about each child in their classroom. The teachers & all of the faculty at Holy Redeemer pour their hearts into that institution and into the children and it shows in the long term success and happiness of the alumni.

Holy Redeemer is an excellent blend of faith and education. This school is blessed by superb, caring and supportive principal and staff. What is best for the child is always at the core of every lession. Students are taught accountablity and responsibility along with respect for self and others. You won't find a better environment for learing and growth in this area.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Indiana used the Indiana Statewide Testing for Educational Progress-Plus (ISTEP+) assessment to test students in grades 3 through 8 in English/language arts and math, grades 4 and 6 in science, and in grades 5 and 7 in social studies. The ISTEP+ is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Indiana. The goal is for all students to score at the passing level on the test.

Rating legend

Average
Above
average

Our rating (from 1 to 10) reflects a school's overall performance. The higher the rating, the more likely the school will prepare your child for the future, so choose an above-average school (8-10) if possible. For average schools (4-7), do careful research and look for evidence that the school has high-quality programs. For below-average schools (1-3), take caution; a low-performing school may not provide the instruction or environment your child needs to learn, and you may need to supplement classroom lessons at home.

Academic rating

The academic rating is made up of equally-weighted parts: students' test scores, their academic growth (for elementary and middle schools) and their readiness for college (for high schools). The graphs below compare this school's results in each area to other schools in the city and state. Growth and college readiness ratings are coming soon, pending publication of 2012 data.
