School Accreditation 

Sacred Heart School is accredited by the State of Kansas as well as by Lumen Accreditation. Lumen Accreditation, offered through The Catholic University of America, advances and promotes the distinctive excellence of K-12 Catholic school education. Guided by Christ and illumined by the Church’s rich educational heritage, Lumen accompanies Catholic school communities as they strive for continuous growth in fulfilling their mission. At the conclusion of a 5-year cycle, an Engagement Review Team evaluates the school based on the four domains of Mission and Catholic Identity, Governance and Leadership, Academic Excellence, and Operational Vitality. The review team shares positive feedback on great practices occurring at the school and provides information on areas of improvement.

 In compliance with the above, all SHS classroom teachers are licensed by the KSDE. The school also participates in the Kansas Assessment Tests, conducted in the spring for grades 3 through 6 in Reading and Mathematics, as well as Social Studies in grade 4 and Science in Grade 5. The school also monitors learning growth using the STARS progress testing in grades 1 through 6, as well as the administration of Reading Diagnostics testing is performed in grade 2.

SHS Students continue to exceed the State of Kansas requirements for Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) as defined by No Child Left Behind legislation (P.L. 107-110).
