St. Bridget earns Exemplary Status from the Indiana Department of Education
August 2006 was the first time the Indiana State Board of Education will adopt category placements for all of the state's public and accredited nonpublic schools. St. Bridget earned an Exemplary status, which is the highest status available. Category placements are based on:
- Percentage of all students who pass the state's English and math tests (averaged across subjects and grade levels).
- Improvement in passing percentage of a "non-mobile cohort group of students" (students enrolled for a 70 percent of the school year [126 days].
- Improvement ultimately is based on three-year rolling average. Initial category placements (in 2006) are based on a two-year average for elementary and middle schools and a one-year improvement measure for high schools.
