Accreditation |

Holy Cross Catholic School is fully accredited by the State of Kansas and the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement, a division of AdvancED.
The State of Kansas awards accreditation based a school’s performance and its ability to make Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) on the Kansas Assessments in reading and math. In addition to making AYP, we have also been awarded the 2007 Standard of Excellence in Reading, Math and Writing. In 2008 and 2009 we were awarded the Building Standard of Excellence in reading, math and science. We choose to be part of the North Central Association School Improvement Process and through this process received their accreditation. This process involves working through a five year cycle of self analysis, goal setting and improvement efforts. The 2009-2010 school year brought an end to our accreditation cycle that began in the 2005-2006 school year. During that year, we collected data, created a school profile and selected goals. During the 2006-2007 school year, we created a School Improvement Plan and selected interventions and activities designed to help us reach our goals. We also began staff development and implementation of those goals. As we moved toward our fifth year (2009-2010), we continued to implement our strategies and monitor data to determine their effectiveness. Holy Cross Catholic School hosted a Quality Assurance Review visit on April 7, 2010 and as a result the review, we received the North Central Association/AdvancED accreditation for another five year term! In addition to reviewing the results of our School Improvement Plan, the team reviewed the quality of our school in seven standards:
We will begin our next School Improvement/Accreditation cycle during the 2010-2011 school year. |
