Some students might be getting comfortable in the midst of summer, but many in the area just received scores from some of the biggest tests they take in high school. Advanced testing scores are trickling in for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program and Advanced Placement exams, and Hall County and Gainesville City Schools are receiving feedback about the performance of their best students. The IB program allows high-achieving juniors and seniors to earn a diploma that is recognized worldwide “as the benchmark of high achievement in a high school curriculum.”
