Rappahannock’s students did better on standardized tests this year than last year, but their Literacy Passport passing rates were lower.
Assistant superintendent Mary Ann Biggs presented some test results to the School Board at their Tuesday night meeting. She said there are many wonderful things that go on in the schools that standardized tests cannot measure, but “You don’t find things in there you would not want children to know.”
She said students could probably score better if county schools had good scores as their “sole goal,” but other things are important also. “There are some good scores and some we don't feel good about. It’s a picture of where we are now.”
She presented only the reading comprehension, math and science scores for fourth, eighth and eleventh graders, but she presented charts showing these scores since 1988.
