Reading, writing and math scores were higher than the provincial average with the exception of reading in grade 2.
District 8 Superintendent Micheal Butler says you can never be totally satisfied.
The big area of concern is french immersion where reading and writing were well below the provincial average. No reason has been determined for that.
The assessments have also shown there has been a decline in writing among grade 10 students over the last couple of years both in Saint John and provincially.
