Statewide testing data released today shows that Gladstone School District students have improved about 9% in math and 6% in English language arts during the past school year. With scores up significantly from the previous year, Gladstone’s 11th-grade English language arts students exceeded the state average by 11.5%.
Wetten third graders improved about 8% in math, where they exceeded the state average by 22%. Our third graders now are also over 10% above the state average for English language arts, through their hard work in this area in partnership with community members.
