Technology and SAT Scores - All Good!



Do you know what ASP stands for?  What about Conestoga Christian’s average SAT scores?  Do you know what they are?  Without continued and intentional communication, we can easily “fall out of the loop” as to what is happening at Conestoga Christian. 

ASP stands for Accreditation by School Progress and is the protocol our school is following to keep our accreditation through the Association of Christian Schools International and Middle States Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges.  The ASP protocol asks our school to identify a project that will help our school move forward while maintaining the standards set through previous visits.  The project our school identified for our ASP protocol was technology.  The following link will allow you to see 3 things:
  1.  Our ASP Proposal 
  2.  ACSI Accrediting Team's Report
  3. Our Acceptance Letter from ACSI

Please spend some time reading about our ASP project and then talk to teachers, students, and staff to hear what is being done on our campus . . . it is exciting!

Also exciting is what is happening in our high school.  John Storey, Regional Director for ACSI, recently sent out an article stating the average SAT scores nationwide.  ACSI reported in their November issue of CAPE:

The headlines in early October captured some of the story:  "2014 SAT Scores Remain Stagnant," "Student Performance Stalls on SAT."  They reflected what the College Board itself reported:  SAT scores for the 2014 crop of high school graduates were stubbornly stuck at levels "similar to other recent senior classes."

They also mentioned:

Mean SAT scores for public school seniors were 492 in reading, 478 in writing, and 501 in math.  Comparable scores for students in independent schools were 535, 542, and 580.  Meanwhile, students in religious schools scored 533, 527, and 537.

You may be wondering what Conestoga Christian average SAT scores were for 2014; well here they are:
  • Reading 576
  • Math 542
  • Writing 563
There are wonderful things happening at Conestoga Christian!  God is blessing us in many areas because we are seeking Him first in all areas – Matthew 6:33.

Just wanted to "Keep You in the Loop."
