If Bulloch County students are as excited after taking an annual standardized test as they are while gearing up for it, local schools should receive scores to be proud of. This week, students in multiple area schools are preparing for the Criterion-Referenced Competency Test (CRCT), which begins next week, by taking part in pep rallies to build excitement for the upcoming challenge. Elementary and middle school students are packing into gyms, listening to guest speakers and making noise in anticipation of the multi-day test to measure their knowledge in language arts, mathematics, science and social studies.
