  23. In summary in 2010… Ascension School has gradually fewer students who are more diverse than in the past. Ascension students are performing better than 10 years ago and better than the average archdiocesan student. Ascension School is serving the individual needs of students more strongly through volunteer, state and federal services, supporting the efforts of our dedicated teachers who see their work as a ministry. Tuition has been rising and the financing of Ascension School is a growing challenge with a leveling off in parish support.
