NORTHEASTERN, NETTLE CREEK EXCEED STATE AVERAGES IN ILEARN RESULTS

(Whitewater Valley)--Here’s a look at how non-Richmond area schools fared with ILEARN results, which were released Wednesday by the state.  Statewide, 41% of students are proficient in English and 42% are proficient in math.  Across the Whitewater Valley, only two school districts exceeded both state averages.  Those two are Northeastern and Nettle Creek.  Centerville and Union County fell just short of state average, while other local districts fell significantly short of average.  At Western Wayne, less than one in ten students going into high school was proficient in both math and English.  The same is true at Randolph Eastern.
