The COVID-19 pandemic didn't put a damper on Cornerstone Classical School students' performance.
Through the pandemic average growth for Cornerstone students in Reading Comprehension (RC), Quantitative Reasoning (QR), Verbal Reasoning (VR), and Mathematics (M) exceeded the average growth among private schools before COVID-19.
Seventy-five percent of the tests in the lower third stanines at Cornerstone in 2019 either maintained their rank or improved on the 2021 standardized tests.
“From the beginning of the pandemic until now, we have watched many people work hard for our safety and well-being. We are thrilled that our Cornerstone families and staff took up the challenge and worked faithfully when COVID made things difficult. Our test scores show what faithfulness through adversity can accomplish. We are pleased with our overall results, and we are very proud of the results for our struggling students who outperformed expectations!” Headmaster Christopher Stevens said.
Cornerstone Classical School, a private, classical, and Christian school, serves children from pre-school through Grade 12 and is located at 830 S. Ninth Street.
