Students Writing Test Scores Improve

Scores from the Georgia High School Writing Test were released Wednesday afternoon. Students were called to the media center where they waited anxiously for Ms. Barnes to pass out the scores. Most let out a sigh of relief when the annoucement was made that 84% had passed the test. The fall 2007 test saw only a 69% passing rate for Warren County.

Students quickly began to emerge from the media center after the scores were passed out. Most had smiles on their faces. Some were too scared to look at their results. Some reacted with uncontrolled joy at passing the first of the tests mandated in order to recieve a high school diploma in Georgia. Others were more restrained as they realized that there are still four more tests to pass before they complete all their requirements.
