K12

Education officials collected opinions from nearly 2,000 Kansans and business leaders regarding what skills K-12 students should learn in school.

The new assessments could be in for changes in the future, even though the state is just releasing the first round of results.

The new tests are more rigorous than old exams. The goal is to determine if students are on track to be ready for college or a career after graduation.

The new scores show most students performing at or above grade level, but a minority of 10th graders are deemed to be on track to succeed in college or a career after graduation.

It's likely the new scores will be released this week.
