Eleven schools in the North Slope and Northwest Arctic Borough school districts met educational targets set by No Child Left Behind for the 2009-2010 school year, while 12 did not, education officials said in the state’s annual progress report.

As in 2008-2009, six schools in the North Slope School District met the standards and five did not. In the Northwest Arctic Borough School District, five schools met the target, an increase over the four that did the year before, and seven did not.

That’s a cause for celebration, said Northwest Arctic School District Superintendant Norman Eck.
