Saint Patrick Catholic School offers an exceptional academic program. The success of that program can be documented, not only by the exceptional test scores exhibited by Saint Patrick students, but of their subsequent success in high school, college, and professionally. Saint Patrick School particularly prides itself in its ability to bring out the best in the ordinary Student.

While many school systems espouse the success of their elite students, the Saint Patrick School academic program strives to encourage extraordinary performance by the entire student body. Proof of this exceptional academic performance can be seen in the Iowa Achievement Test Scores from Spring of 2002 and 2003. An incredible 75% of Saint Patrick students scored a composite grade equivalent above grade level.

Just as incredibly, 73% of last year's eighth grade class (2003) scored
a composite grade equivalent of 10th grade or better. The average
composite grade equivalent for 8th grade in the 2003 testing was
9.7.
