See E.P. Students' NECAP Scores

Math scores on the most recent NECAP achievement tests for the East Providence High School junior class got the most attention at the School Committee's meeting last Tuesday night, March 12.

Those scores on the New England Common Assessment Program test taken last fall got the most attention because they show that 42 percent of the students would not graduate right now if they had no future chance of making improvements.

But a host of other scores were presented by Rebekah Gendron, a curriculum officer with the school department, to demonstrate where East Providence stands in what is often referred to now as "high-stakes testing" for the junior class.

Gendron transferred the scores to slides for the presentation. It offers a visual look at achievement levels of East Providence students.
