Gaston schools report big gains

Charlotte-Mecklenburg wasn't the only district celebrating test-score gains this week.

Gaston County school officials also reported preliminary results of elementary and middle-school exams.

Unlike CMS, they haven't yet reported high-school scores, and they didn't break out how much of their boost came from retesting. But like CMS, they saw big gains across the board:
