Every year, Mercy students take the Stanford Achievement Test.

This achievement test assesses areas of mathematics, language, reading, listening comprehension, science and social studies.

From a recent publication from Winston Salem Forsyth County School, public school elementary school students scored the following: Reading Proficiency: 50.8%, Math Proficiency 48.9%, Science Proficiency: 65.4%.
