Catholic Board Happy With Numbers

The Northwest Catholic District School Board says it's seeing some improvements in the latest provincial test scores.

The board bettered its result in Grade 3 reading by five per cent while 70 per cent of its grade 6's met or better the provincial standard in reading.

Education Director Rick Boisvert says they also see a reduction in the gender gap, especially at grade 6.

In math, 58 per cent of grade 3's and 62 per cent of grade 6's achieved provincial standards.
