Research-backed benefits of Lutheran schools in faith and academics
Reliable statistical research has shown significant differences in faith development, academic achievement, and personal growth among students who attend Lutheran schools. The evidence is clear: Lutheran education provides lasting benefits that extend far beyond the classroom.
Studies reveal that the longer a student attends Lutheran schools, the more pronounced these positive differences become. While these qualities can certainly develop in other educational settings, Lutheran schools provide a uniquely nurturing environment for spiritual and academic growth.
According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), known as "The Nation's Report Card," Lutheran schools consistently rank at the top among various educational systems nationwide.
While we celebrate these academic achievements, our greatest joy comes from sharing the most important truth: God's victory over sin and death through Jesus Christ. Lutheran schools provide an environment where students learn not only academic subjects but also the power of forgiveness and God's grace.
