What's Great About St. James Academy in 2011

• 100% of St. James Academy's 2009, 2010, and 2011 graduates were accepted to attend colleges and universities across the United States.
• Among our 2011 graduates are two seminarians, Mr. Doug Leikam and Mr. Thomas Maddock. 2010 graduate, Mary Kate Suprenant, is also serving in a religious life. Three graduates are serving in U.S. Military.
• "When was the last time you felt God close to you?" was the question in a get-acquainted activity in class. A freshman responded, "I walked into St. James without my friends, family, or anyone and felt abandoned... then, the first day of school, the red carpet showed up."
• A freshman parent complimented the orientation offered new families before the school year began. "It was evident that that which is most important— developing hearts and minds for Jesus— not only remains but is intentionally and intricately woven into every fiber of the St. James Academy experience."
• 67% of all three years' graduates received college scholarship awards for academics. The average college scholarship value was $7,750 for the freshman year alone, based on actual scholarships accepted by the first three years’ graduates.
• There was one National Merit Scholar in each of the 2009 and 2010 graduating classes and numerous Kansas Scholars. Among 2011 graduates, there were 35 Kansas Scholars, representing 23% of the entire class. In the 2010-11 school year 53% of all students had a grade point average over 90%.
• Student enrollment in 2011-12 is 689 in grades 9 through 12.
• The school population is 48 percent male and 52 percent female. Non-Catholics represent 4 percent of the population.
