CGB Students Test Better Than National Average Those tests that the teachers tell you to do your best on, like PLAN and EXPLORE, actually matter! This year’s test results show that our CGB eighth graders had higher results on the EXPLORE test in the areas of English, Math and Science than students in the rest of the country! Sophomores took the PLAN test and they did better than other sophomores nationally in English, Math, Science and Reading! So, everybody keep up the great work and the next time you’re facing one of those long, boring tests, remember it is just another opportunity to show what a great school we have!
