Our graduates are being recruited by some of the nation's top colleges and universities. Our students' performance on standardized achievements tests ranks Aquinas among the very top schools nationwide, public or private.
In addition, our students score well above average on the National Latin Exam, the college-level Advanced Placement Program tests, and other leading measures of learning and achievement.
