UNION CITY – Seventh-graders in English/language arts made the biggest improvement among New Haven Unified School District during the 2006-07 school year, according to preliminary STAR (Standardized Testing and Results) scores made public today.

Fifth-grade scores improved across the board – in English/language arts, math and science – and eighth-grade science scores and 11th-grade English/language arts and history/social science scores were also among those that improved.

Overall, results were “mixed,” said Craig Boyan, Director of Assessment and Evaluation, noting that scores declined in some areas, including eighth-grade English/language arts, Algebra II and world history.
