Student Achievement
Raw data measures student performance on standardized tests. Not all schools take the same standardized tests. Direct comparisons between different tests should not be made.
At St. Francis de Sales School, we have a firm commitment to creating peacemakers. Our Peace Program has received national recognition for teaching children how to resolve their differences in a non-confrontational manner. The Peace Program has helped children cope and live with their surroundings –- and their multicultural differences -– in an atmosphere of respect, giving, sharing and taking individual responsibility. These lessons sustain our students throughout their lives.--Saint Francis de Sales School aims to help children to become good students; model good citizenship in a diverse student body for the future, here or in their native countries; prepare students to pursue community and world peace; prepare students for leadership in academics and society; and model responsibility for students and respect for others.
