While test results posted by Fulton County 11th graders have improved overall, the lowest scores seem to be on the science portion of the exam, according to results released to schools Tuesday.
The percentage of juniors who passed the science section of the state graduation test ranged from 97 percent at Northview High to 56 percent at McClarin High. The district average was 88 percent, but cannot be compared to last year's scores because the grading scale has changed.
Fulton County students exceeded the statewide average on all sections of the state graduation test, except math. Ninty-three percent of state and Fulton students passed the math portion. When compared to the state, 83 percent of students passed on their first try, a 5 percent increase over last year. Statewide, 79 percent of high school juniors passed on their first try.
