Small class size coupled with differentiated instruction makes this a place where students are challenged according to their ability in a family atmosphere. Graduates do very well in high school, college and life. Centrally located in Ft. Wayne, before and after school program is available and daily on site hot lunches are a plus. Technology is abundant and incorporated into daily learning as approrpriate. Tuition and fees are modest compared to value. The church subsidizes all tuition and assistance is available.

My daughter loves going to this school. The principal is very caring and puts the students first. The small class size allows the students to get excellent one-on-one time with the teachers.

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
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). Unfortunately, this school doesn't have sufficient data to generate an academic rating.

Climate rating for this school is not yet available.
