Except for Centennial, school district meets standard

CHAMPAIGN – For the first time, the Champaign school district as a whole and Central High School have met state standards for student achievement in math and reading for the last school year.

All but one of Champaign's schools made adequate yearly progress under the No Child Left Behind Act. The district recently received achievement test results for high school juniors for the 2005-06 school year.
