Test Scores

Recently our students in Grades 3, 5, and 7 along with other students in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee participated in the Iowa Test of Basic Skills. Standardized testing tells us in which "areas" a child is strong and in which "areas" a child needs assistance. The testing program also illustrates how well St. Alphonsus School is performing in relationship to other schools.

Our School Composite Percentiles when compared to other schools in the country are outstanding.

Grade 3 - 96 %
Grade 5 - 98 %
Grade 7 - 99 %

As you will see from the table below, our students performed well in all aspects of the subtests administered to the students in their respective grades.
