By Alexandre Da Silva / adasilva@starbulletin.com

Officials note that new standards were used this year
STORY SUMMARY »
For the first time in six years of testing, Hawaii public school students showed major gains in annual state math and reading exams, nearly doubling the number of schools meeting progress benchmarks set by the federal government.
