I as a grandparent would like to say to the wells elementary 4th grade a special thank you from my grandaughter Maddy. She received her reply sent for a school project today. The box contained several gifts and educational items and among others a gift of 12 dollars cash from Bernicie a 4th grader who said its all I have. This was in response to the devastating tornadoes that tore through our city April 27th in Cullman Alabama. Thank you Wells Elementary what great kids and teachers you have. Maddy is donating the 12 dollars to the american red cross. Many thanks Gary England Cullman Alabama.

About the tests

In 2010-2011 Nevada used the Criterion Referenced Test (CRT) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math, and in grades 5 and 8 in science and writing. The CRT is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Nevada. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
