Catholic school education lays the foundation for a lifetime of success. In study after study over the past two decades, researchers have proven that Catholic school students have higher levels of success:

• Catholic school students have exceptional graduation and college attendance rates. In the Archdiocese of Newark, 97 percent of Catholic school graduates choose to attend college.


• Catholic school students excel on national standardized tests. In fact, Catholic school students score in the top one-third on standardized tests in the nation.


• Catholic school students are better writers. A greater emphasis on homework and study translates into more effective writing skills, according to recent research.


• Catholic schools encourage higher levels of family involvement. Studies show that this results in higher attendance rates and lower dropout rates.


• Catholic schools emphasize spiritual and moral development. We constantly reinforce the religious and moral values you practice at home. It’s a very valuable benefit—one that secular schools can’t provide.
