The percentage of Georgia's 11th graders passing the state's high school graduation test is on the rise. According to numbers released by the state Department of Education on Wednesday, 91 percent of juniors passed the English language arts portion of the Georgia High School Graduation Test. That's up from 90 percent last year. In math, the rate rose from 93 to 94 percent. Social studies is up from 86 to 87 percent, and science increased from 86 to 88 percent. All high school students have to pass the test to get a diploma in Georgia. Students who don't pass can retake the test as many times as they need.
