Ky. Fourth Graders Improve In Math
Citing national scores, the state Department of Education says Kentucky's fourth graders showed significant gains in mathematics on the 2009 National Assessment of Education Progress test, making Kentucky one of eight states or jurisdictions to record such gains from 2007 to 2009, meaning they reached the national average. Kentucky's eighth graders scored just under the national average. The test, sometimes called the "Nation's Report Card," assesses students in reading, math and science.
