i-Ready

WE LIVE OUR ROOT BELIEF - We are a community of unique learners, always growing and learning.
 
St. Barnabas uses multiple assessments throughout the year to gain helpful information for students, teachers, and parents/guardians to understand areas of proficiency and areas that may need more focus.  One of our main standardized assessment tools is the i-Ready Diagnostic. The test is completed three times per year: at the beginning, middle, and year's end. A student's i-Ready Diagnostic score and growth throughout the year are important factors for placement in our Math and ELA courses. Student's 7th and 8th-grade i-Ready results are also part of the application process to most Catholic High Schools.
 
In addition to the diagnostic test, we use the i-Ready supporting instructional program to help students achieve learning growth. As part of weekly assigned homework, students complete 45 minutes a week in Reading i-Ready instruction and 45 minutes a week in Math i-Ready instruction.
 
WE ARE PLEASED to share that our students consistently outperform the state of Illinois proficiency levels in reading and math. St. Barnabas students also outperform the Archdioceses of Chicago i-Ready average.
