Chapel Hill-Carrboro Schools Lead The State in ABC Report Results

The North Carolina State Board of Education just released the 2010 ABC Reports. The ABC program measures academic progress at North Carolina's public schools, using standardized end-of-grade tests in reading and math for grades three through eight and end-of-course tests in seven high school subjects.

This year, the Chapel Hill-Carrboro schools again led the state in most areas of student achievement. Every district school but one made High Growth, seven schools were named Honor Schools of Excellence, and another three were named schools of Excellence.
