The Rainy River District School Board is expressing satisfaction with the the recent results of provincial tests written by its grade three, six and nine students in April.
Education Director Heather Campbell says the board saw significant improvement in several areas.
"We've seen some tremendous growth in our junior assessment in reading, writing and math," says Campbell, "as well with our grade 9 assessments. We've seen increases there as well."
Campbell says there was a slight decrease in the test scores from grade 3 reading and writing while math scores remain stable over past years.
Strugeon Creek School was singled out as success story by the group that administers the standardized testing in Ontario's schools.
EQAO says the school has shown steady improvement in the number of students meeting provincial standards over the past several year.
The school results for Grade 6 reading, writing and math tests were all well above the provincial average.
