“We are seeing some positive trends in our 2018-2019 data that we definitely want to continue; we saw significant celebrations at every school,” said Stephanie Haskins, the executive director of instruction at Staunton City Schools. “This year also marked the release of a new mathematics assessment for all grades. The proactive work of our teachers in preparing for this new assessment and the hard work of our students really shows in the results.”
