Similar Stories to Most Maine Students Proficient In English, Science, New Test Shows on Bing News

Maine education officials released the latest results of new K-12 statewide English and math tests given to students in third through eighth grades, but it’s the first time they’ve used this particular test, so the results cannot be compared to previous years. Last year, the same thing happened when the state used a different standardized test for only one year. That means it will be at least three years before the state has test results data that can be compared year-over-year to track academic performance. The results released Wednesday are for math, English and science tests for all students in third through eighth grades, and SAT results for juniors in high school.
