TESTING PROGRAM
Queen of Peace School, through the cooperation and guidance of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati Office of Education, maintains an accurate record of each student’s progress in school through the administration of various standardized testing batteries. The special testing program is in addition to the regular tests and quizzes given by the teachers during the regular course of the school year. The standardized testing program at Queen of Peace, conducted in the early fall of each year, includes:
• Terra Nova which replaces the IOWA Test of Basic Skills and the Cognitive Abilities Test
Competency Based Education is an educational program with the goal of enabling each student to acquire or exceed the competencies set forth in the Archdiocesan Graded Course of Study.
Students’ knowledge of the Catholic faith is evaluated periodically using the national Catholic Educational Association’s Assessment of Catholic Religious Education. (Grades 5 - 8: given every other year.)
