Although the primary goal of St. John Lutheran High School is to bring students closer to Christ, the academic priority of the high school is to prepare students for success at the college level. Pre-college students benefit from our outstanding, experienced, and caring high school faculty members who incorporate the latest innovations and technology along with “tried and proven” traditional methods. The goal of our high school faculty is to make sure students are exceedingly prepared for even the most challenging college program.
Test scores including SAT, ACT, PSAT, and national achievement data show that St. John Lutheran School students not only meet, but exceed both state and national standards.
Approximately 70% of our high school students earn college credit each year through Advanced Placement and/or Dual Enrollment.
St. John is committed to providing the best learning experience possible for all students. To help prepare students for directed learning and post-secondary education, we initiated a “Bring Your Own Device” program. This allows the students guided access to more learning resources, enhances communication and research skills, builds a learning community, and prepares them for their college and career options. In addition, Smart Boards and other technology are utilized to engage students at the High School level.
A comprehensive college guidance program is offered to provide students and parents with updated, accurate information and tools to pursue a successful secondary school career and to reach their postsecondary goals. Intentional individual guidance is provided to ensure each student’s transcript will support his or her college aspirations as well as make the student eligible for Bright Futures and numerous other scholarships.
A traditional 8-period day schedule is followed which allows students to earn up to 8 credits per year during the new school day. Student’s meet with the Academic Advisor several times per year to ensure their schedules are developed for individual student success.
Grade Point Average (GPA) is computed by using semester grades. Students are ranked at the end of each semester using cumulative weighted averages. Honors and dual enrollment courses are weighted by one extra quality point per year, while AP courses are weighted by two extra quality points per year.
