Santa Clara Catholic Academy receives $85,000.00 from the Catholic Foundation to continue the schools Literacy program.
The program, initiated in 2006-2007, was widely successful. Based on testing conducted at the end of the school year 87% of students were reading at grade level. Sixty-eight percent of students in K through grade 3 were classified as “Developed” based on their reading comprehension scores. Of students in grades 4 through 8, 98% showed improvement in at least one of three literacy areas tested. Specifically, 80% improved on the Test of Silent Word Reading Fluency, 62% improved on the reading comprehension test and 63% improved on the spelling test.
We want to thank the Catholic foundation for supporting and making a difference for Santa Clara School and Church.
