Washington students’ success continues

The addition of increased math scores to a list of notable achievements by Washington students this year is a product of hard work and careful planning.

Today’s release of the spring 2011 state testing results, which includes the first math end-of-course exams (EOCs), shows that Washington students are passing the state’s new high school math learning standards at a higher rate than in previous years of traditional math testing. This year students were tested at the end of their respective math courses as opposed to waiting until the final two months before completing the school year.

In addition, math scores on the grades 3-8 Measurements of Student Progress increased in nearly every grade. Although there’s still plenty of work to do to, including increasing scores in reading and writing, Washington students continue to prove that they have the skills needed to succeed.
