National Catholic Education Association – ACRE Test

The NCEA ACRE is a tool to assist school and parish catechetical leaders providing a sound comprehensive religion program. NCEA ACRE gives bishops, pastors, administrators, teacher/catechists, parents, and students a picture of the basic faith knowledge and religious perceptions of students at various levels of age and stage of development. With these data, faith education leaders and participants can explore areas of strength as well as areas that need additional attention. Using such an assessment annually allows leaders to identify the trajectory of their faith education efforts and track improvements as goals and strategies are changed or refined. St. Rocco School conducts ACRE testing for Grades 5 and 8 annually.
