Primary and secondary school students in Sonoma and Napa counties made some gains in testing last year, mostly in science, but continue to trail behind their peers statewide across a range of academic subjects, including math and English, according to the latest data from the California Department of Education.
The data, released in October and drawn from a host of standardized tests taken annual by students starting in the 3rd grade up to grade 11, also showed that local students have yet to catch up with some pre-pandemic scores.
