Jefferson exceeds area, state on graduation tests
SCHOOL LEADERS reported Thursday that Jefferson High School students bettered the averages of their contemporaries at the area and state level on the Georgia High School Graduation Tests in all content areas.
The JHS passage rates were 93 percent for English-language arts, 90 percent for math, 97 percent for science and 89 percent for social studies.
Specific state and regional averages weren’t available at Thursday’s meeting. The system will have a more formal report at next month’s board of education (BOE) meeting.

When you print this info, with side by side comparisons of each school in the county, it is informative. However, can you also put in the % free and reduced lunch at each school in your table you print. I, the Rock, would like to see what that looks like. For example, if JHS beats CHS is all areas by only 1%, but CHS ends up having a much higher % (say 20% higher) of free and reduced lunch (an indicator of higher poverty...and lower SES) it would give us a bigger and better picture of what these scores mean....it lets us compare apples to apples better. I'm just saying. Can you smell what I am cooking?
Unless you don't want to raise the level of dialog in this county...and just sell newspapers.
