Local Provincial Test Scores Released


Area school boards are analysing the latest provincial test results written by their students in the spring.

The numbers for Grade 3 and 6 students in the Rainy River District School Board reaching the standards in reading, writing and math are slightly below provincial averages.

Education Director Heather Campbell says there are signs of improvement, especially in the writing and reading portions of the tests.

Overall test scores in math dropped, but Campbell says there have been improvements in some schools.
