County students show gains in reading comprehension
Grafton leads with 100 percent word count in sixth grade tests and Bailey highlights steady gains across fifth to eighth grades. Across 1,917 tested, the third reading and comprehension exam produced 28 perfect papers and higher medians, though some declines in eighth grade stem from carelessness. Recommendations urge targeted study, slower pace for low readers, and making comprehension the priority.
