    It’s amazing to see the higher test scores at CVHS this year. Hopefully these means we are improving as a school and our scores will continue to improve throughout the following years. Glad to see students at CVHS excelling and I hope there will be improvements.

    It’s really interesting to see the test scores, I had honestly expected higher.

    I wonder how some of the low scores from students who purposely don’t try at the tests overall affect the statistics.

    I think that if everyone gave their 100%, the scores would be a lot higher.
