Standardized Test Scores

At OLPH we test students for knowledge.
There are no incentives, evaluations, or funding linked to our teachers and school based on how well our students perform. Our students do take standardized tests: PSAT 8/9 for 8th-grade students, NWEA for grades K-8, and religious testing for grades 5th and 8th..
OLPH students have historically performed at a level higher than national and other archdiocesan schools on all testing.
