FAMILY FRIENDLY SCHOOL

The Family Friendly Schools designation focuses on addressing the academic, physical, emotional, and social needs of students, while providing the needed resources and fostering the active involvement of their families through schools and the community. The program recognizes and honors schools that welcome all families into the school community, communicate effectively, support student success, speak up for every child, share power and collaborate with the community.

"4 STAR" SCHOOL

Each year, the Indiana Department of Education recognizes schools that perform in the upper 25th percentile of schools in performance on ILEARN, as well their rating determined by the national No Child Left Behind statute's Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). Saint Wendel Catholic School has been named a "4 Star School" from the Indiana Department of Education every year since it's inception!

"A" RATING

Beginning with the 2010-11 academic year, the State Board of Education changed the labels for school categories based on student performance from the terms Exemplary, Commendable, Academic Progress, Academic Watch and Academic Probation to easy-to-understand letter grades A, B, C, D and F. Starting with the 2011-12 academic year, the State Board of Education adopted the use of a new methodology for determining a school or corporation's grade, A-F. Indiana's new A-F model holds schools and corporations to higher standards and provides a more accurate picture of their performance by incorporating student academic growth and graduation rates, as well as college and career readiness, as measures of success. Saint Wendel Catholic School has received an A grade from the Indiana Department of Education every year since it's inception!
