See how your Connecticut school scored on state accountability ratings

Each year, one number offers parents, students, policymakers and residents alike an impression of how well Connecticut schools and districts are doing. The scores come from the Next Generation Accountability System results, which were released Tuesday and build on the late August release of statewide assessment results for the last school year. Those results showed that Connecticut students made gains in English language arts, mathematics and science performance but have yet to meet pre-COVID levels. The accountability results give a more holistic look, showcasing how well Connecticut schools support student success and prepare them for life after graduation.

Georgia gas prices fall 8 cents to $3.65 a gallon

Georgia’s average price for regular gasoline fell 8 cents over the past week to $3.65 a gallon, according to AAA. Drivers are paying 51 cents less than a month ago but 86 cents more than a year ago. At the statewide average, filling a 15-gallon tank costs about $54.75. Prices are subject to overnight changes.
