South Harrison schools test scores slightly above state averages…

Last night's South Harrison School Board meeting was held at New Middletown Elementary school and featured a presentation from Directors of Curriculum Allison Schalk and Diane Owen. Schalk and Owen thoroughly explained a large swatch of student data collected over the past three years.

Student test scores have remained relative stable with minimal learning loss. While scores are not where Schalk would like them to be, she emphasized that they are still slightly above state averages. Schalk attributes that to South Harrison's effort to stay open over 2021 and not utilize virtual learning, stating that "being in person is something that cannot be overstated."
