St. Ann School is noted for its excellent academic program. The school and its teachers are fully accredited by the State of Kansas and the North Central Association, and we routinely earn Building Standard of Excellence in reading, math, and science.
St. Ann School has full and part-time learning resource teachers who provide small group instruction and enrichment support, partnering with the classroom teacher. In addition, the Shawnee Mission School District serves the students of St. Ann by providing services for special needs including: enhanced learning and learning disabilities St. Ann School also utilizes Kansas' Multi-Tiered System of Support, and our Student Improvement Team meets regularly to review students' needs.
The Cognitive Ability Test is given to third, fifth, and seventh graders each fall. MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) test is also given to grades K-8 in the fall and spring, and students grades 3-8 take Kansas Assessments each spring. These tests help measure our children's educational progress and guide our teachers in their classroom approach. The students should be well-rested and have had a healthy breakfast on the days of these tests. See calendar for specific testing dates. It is important for students to be present on their designated testing days, as time does not allow for extensive make-up exams.
