BARTLETT — Students at Josiah Bartlett Elementary School will be taking part in statewide assessment testing in the coming weeks, and while the Bears will be looking to improve on their recent scores, paramount to that success will be having enough students in school to take the test.
Ninety-five percent of students are required to take the test.
