Wyoming students improved their statewide test scores this past year. The Wyoming Department of Education on Monday released results for the 2012 Proficiency Assessments for Wyoming Students, or PAWS. Statewide results show higher math scores from 2011 at every grade level. Every grade, except fourth, also recorded improved reading scores. And in science, every grade, except fourth, had higher scores. PAWS tested students in grades three through eight and 11th. State Superintendent Cindy Hill says the improvement shows that everyone involved in public education is working together to help students succeed. State education reform initiatives will mean some changes in student assessments next year, especially for high school students.
