Student test scores up from 2010
Placeholder Image
Scores have been released for the 2011 Georgia High School Graduation Test, and student performance has increased from last year. Compared to last year, the Newton County School System increased pass percentage rates in every subject - English/language arts by two percentage points, science by three percentage points and social studies by six percentage points - except math. There are no scores with which to compare current math scores because 2011 brought a new math curriculum and test to the school system.
