Barrow County students began Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests (CRCT) testing Wednesday. Georgia law requires that all students in grades one through eight take the CRCT in the content areas of reading, English/language arts, and mathematics. Students in grades three through eight are also assessed in science and social studies. Due to budget constraints, however, grades one and two are not taking CRCTs this spring, according to the Georgia Department of Education’s web site.

At Tuesday night's Barrow County Board of Education meeting, Assistant Superintendent Claire Miller said that the weeklong testing would continue through Tuesday. Makeup testing will be administered on Wednesday, Miller said.

I just hope the kids can retain the information for the CRCT. If you look at the school Calendar, they are out for long weekends every month!!!!!

If a long weekend causes children to forget what they've learned, then they didn't really learn it in the first place.
