Trinity Lutheran High School achieves four-star rating

SEYMOUR — Trinity Lutheran High School teachers, administrators, staff and students are seeing stars. Four stars to be exact.

Earlier this month, the Indiana Department of Education announced the list of Hoosier schools receiving its Four Star School designation for 2017-18, and Trinity made the cut — again.

This marks the sixth time in seven years Trinity has earned the honor, which the state created more than 30 years ago to recognize outstanding academic achievement.

“Receiving designation as a Four Star School reflects academic excellence among students, educators and the administration,” Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction Jennifer McCormick said. “I am honored to recognize these Four Star Schools for their hard work and dedication in preparing their students for a bright and prosperous future.”

In order to receive four stars, a school must receive a grade of A on the state’s A-F accountability system and have high ISTEP+ pass rates.
