Marian Receives a Grade of "A" or "Exemplary" on A.Y.P.
Congratulations are in order as Marian High School received a grade of "A" or an "Exemplary" rating on Adequate Yearly Progress (A.Y.P.) and Public Law 221 from the state of Indiana's Department of Education. Thank you to the students, teachers, and parents for their hard work in earning this distinction. The A.Y.P. measures the Graduation Rate and the percentage of students passing the End of Course Assessments (ECAs) in Algebra I and English 10. Biology ECA scores do not count in terms of A.Y.P., but it is important to note that Marian's Biology test scores were 11 percentage points greater than the next highest school in the area.
