Academics
Excellence in Education is a standard our faculty, students, and parents strive together to achieve. Many of St. John’s Middle School students successfully enter Bay County public School advanced honors programs such as IB, AICE, and MAPPS and become college scholarship recipients.
St. John Catholic School ranks in the top 10% of all U.S. Schools, government or private according to the results of our most recent Standardized Tests (The Iowa Test of Basic Skills, ITBS) which meets the United States Department of Education Criteria. In addition 40% of our 4th and 5th graders qualified for the Duke University Talent Identification, which means they are in the top 10% in the nation in math and/or reading. St. John School maintains a rigorous academic program for all students. We expect all students to succeed. To achieve that expectation, the program is designed to meet the needs of enrolled students. Recognizing that students learn in many ways, teachers utilize methods that are designed to appeal to a variety of learning styles.
