Wyoming students top national average in science

The Casper Star-Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/2gnXLUS ) the younger students scored about 5 percent higher on the National Assessment of Educational Progress than the national average, while the older students' scores came in higher by about 4.5 percent.

State Department of Education spokeswoman Kari Eakins says nearly 4,300 Wyoming students were sampled for the science tests, and that the results show the state still has some room for growth.
