Saint Matthew School Report Card 06-07

The Terra Nova Achievement Test is given to all St. Matthew students in grades 2-8 in the fall of the year.  It was normed in public and private schools across the nation.  The following scores are grade-level average percentiles.   Comparisons have been made with the Catholic schools in the Peoria Diocese; Region II of the Peoria Diocese which include the Catholic schools in Champaign, Bloominton, Lincoln, Danville and Rantoul; and Public and Catholic Schools nationally.   Comparisons can not be made with the Champaign Public Schools.  Champaign Unit 4 students do not take a nationally-normed achievement test.
