Reading scores rise

Georgia's high schoolers are reading better, according to new test results. Nearly nine out of 10 Georgia high school students passed the state's writing test this fall. 89 percent of the 106,000 11th-graders who took the test in September either met or exceeded standards. That's up from 88 percent last year. This year's pass rate is the highest the state has seen.
