Nearly 70 percent of the state’s students are reading at grade level, a slight increase over 2011. About 56 percent are proficient or above in math, essentially flat over last year. Fewer students – or 54 percent – are writing at grade level, a marginal decline. Science scores are slightly up, with 49 percent of students achieving proficiency.
