As a whole, the Effingham County School System saw gains as scores came in for the Grade 5 Writing Assessment and the Georgia High School Graduation Test, as well as unofficial scores the Georgia Criterion Reference Competency Test. “We’ve gone through a number of years here where we’ve had less resources than we might ought to have at any one time,” Assistant Superintendent Greg Arnsdorff told school board members at their June 1 meeting. “We’ve had less instructional days than we’ve had ever before even though it’s a couple of days. “…I think you’ll see our schools did quite well in keeping their eye on the ball and improving their performance over the previous administration.”
