Terra Nova Test Scores

Students at Saint Odilo Catholic School take the Terra Nova Test each spring. The students’ scores are then compared to students throughout the country and a percentile is assigned to each student. The percentile indicates the percentage of test takers that a particular student scored equal to or better than. The typical student nationwide would score at the 50th percentile.

Each school receives a report of the median national percentile for each grade level. This indicates where the typical student at that school would perform. The students at Saint Odilo consistently score above the national average. In fact, the total scores for each grade tested are at or above the 75th percentile. This allows our graduates to gain admittance to some of the most selective high schools in the Chicagoland area, including Nazareth Academy, Fenwick, Saint Patrick's and Saint Joseph's to name a few.
