The progress of all middle school students is evaluated at the end of each year using the California Achievement Test, Fifth Edition. Homework is considered essential to students' education. It is expected that two hours would be set aside for homework each night, although some nights the assignments might require less time. Long-term projects are assigned, with the goal of developing time management skills and responsibility. Study skills are taught and incorporated in every class.
Extracurricular activities are important components of our program.
All students at St. Mark School wear uniforms. For the middle school, this consists of a solid color, collared shirt and khaki pants, skirts, or shorts. A solid color sweater or the middle school sweatshirt may be added.
