The One to Count On...

Administrators at WACO School District are analyzing data from this year and last year to see if there are differences in achievement. The district switched to a four day school week this school year, with Fridays set aside for remediation and elective courses. Superintendent Darrel Smith says students receiving an F in the first quarter went from 17% to 6%, and periods missed went from around 3,200 to 1,660. He adds 64% of students made the honor roll in the first quarter, up 14% from last year.
