Science Scores are UP!
|
Congratulations to last year's fourth grade teachers and the fourth graders. They did an outstanding job on the Science NECAPS. Our scores went up by 8 points over the previous year. In NECAP "land", that's a huge improvement. We also had a higher average than the Vermont State's average. Our weakness is inquiry and science investigations, so that's the area we'll be working on.
