Rainy River Schools Get Good Grades From Think Tank

An elementary school that's been the subject of closure talk in the Rainy River district has been identified as one of the areas top performing schools by the Fraser Institute.

The think tank is out with it's annual elementary school ratings based on the results of recent provincial-wide test scores.

Spokesperson Peter Cowley says Sturgeon Creek has done very well.

Although its rating dropped, Donald Young School in Emo scored a 6 out of 10 as Atikokan's North Star School.
