At least 60 percent of the Plymouth students passed in each of the four areas, he said. Plymouth had only four students or 5 percent who did not pass any areas of the test. Each area has several categories, and a student must pass all of the categories in order to pass the test.

The problem is that the scores don't show how well the students did in each area, Turson said, or how close they were to passing. Next year, he said, there will be a teacher who will do nothing but help the students prepare for the test. Superintendent Jeff Slauson said he was pleased with the proficiency test results, especially the math results, which were the highest in the county.
