Student achievement at Catholic schools is about more than scores. At Royalmont Academy, we believe true achievement includes intellectual development, character formation, and spiritual maturity. This final post in our Catholic Elementary series builds on our previous reflections about instructional strategies, formative culture, and authentic rigor. It dives into how we measure what matters—and how we accompany each student in their unique journey.

Academic Excellence Starts with Understanding Each Child

From their first steps in Kindergarten through Grade 8, students at Royalmont Academy benefit from small class sizes and personalized attention. That makes room for what we call intentional accompaniment—our commitment to knowing each child deeply and supporting their individual path to growth.

We use a variety of tools to track student achievement across the year:

• i-Ready Growth Assessments three times annually (Grades K–8)
• Curriculum Benchmarks designed to support our classically infused academics
• Teacher-Generated Assessments and authentic project-based evaluations

These tools allow us to identify strengths, address gaps early, and tailor instruction to student needs.

Royalmont Students Grow in All Areas

Recent data shows consistent student growth across subjects and grade levels. Our i-Ready results indicate:

• Strong growth in Reading and Math, often outpacing national expectations
• Targeted support helping lower-scoring students make significant gains
• High-achieving students maintaining and expanding their performance

But academic growth is only part of the story.

Integral Formation Leads to Holistic Success

As a Regnum Christi school, we believe student success is rooted in the Four Dimensions:

• Intellectual: Strong curriculum and critical thinking
• Human: Virtue, self-management, empathy, and social maturity
• Spiritual: Daily prayer, sacraments, and Catholic worldview
• Apostolic: Service to others and discovering personal mission

Our student formation charts outline goals in each area from elementary through high school, ensuring that students don’t just grow in knowledge—but in wisdom and character.

Success You Can See—and Feel

Families often notice the difference right away. Students become more confident, motivated, and engaged. Teachers collaborate closely with parents, and our staff meets regularly to review student data and progress. This ensures every child stays on track and receives the support they need.

From our kindergarten benchmarks to our eighth-grade leadership development, Royalmont’s approach to student achievement is deliberate, data-informed, and deeply personal.
