“I am pleased that 50 percent of our Catholic schools earned the distinction of being recognized as Four Star Schools,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Daryl Hagan. “Catholic schools are committed to educating the whole child; and as a result, they are distinguished by excellence."
Created in 1988 by the Indiana DOE, the Four Star School Award signifies a pursuit of academic excellence among the students and the administration of a school. To receive a Four Star designation, a school must receive an “A” on the state’s A-F accountability system; have excellent ISTEP pass rates; carry an overall high graduation rate (if applicable); and show success in closing achievement gaps.
