The Chillicothe Gazette reports that local students had difficulty on the social studies portion of the Ohio Graduation Test. Western, Eastern and Chillicothe High Schools reported a percentage of students with limited ratings of 22.5, 22.1 and 19.8, respectively. Local officials felt that the high number of calamity days this past winter had something to do with it. They also feel that they must do a better job teaching the concepts, and some are going to be implementing curriculum changes. Districts are encouraging students to take online practice tests, as well.
