Ninety-one percent of all seniors attending Worcester County Public
Schools have met their graduation requirements, according to a report by
the Worcester County Board of Education, giving the schools the second
highest ranking in the state.
Students must fulfill the requirements of four different categories
in order to graduate and a total of 21 class credits must be completed. A
student cannot be absent from school any more than six days of each
school year. At least 75 hours of community service, deemed Service
Learning, must be performed. Each of the three High School Assessments —
state exams focusing on English, math and science — also must be
passed.
“Those numbers are very positive to us,” Stephanie Zanich,
coordinator of instruction and assessment, said during the Board of
Education meeting Tuesday in Newark. “It’s a glimpse that reveals to all
of us that we’re doing the right things for the students we work with.”

Given the fact that most of the schools suck , I guess that's pretty good.
ReplyDeleteThat is VERY good! My daughter is graduating from Snow Hill High School which is a top performing school. Just attended the WEXL banquet last night and was thrilled at an entire room full of motivated students who have attained grade point averages of 4.5 and above consistently for four consecutive grading quarters.
