At the same time, Assumption High School maintained its “A Rating” with a strong 95.5 School Performance Score, which was bolstered by strong performances in the Strength of Diploma and Graduation Rate categories. 

“We are very proud of our students, teachers, leaders and parents for their hard work and commitment to maintain a high-level of learning at all our grade levels. We know that consistency is the key to meaningful progress,” Superintendent Dr. John Barthelemy said.
