Seekonk public school students performed better than the average students in Massachusetts in last spring's Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System, or MCAS tests. The state Department of Education released the results on Wednesday.
Overall the percentage of Seekonk students who scored "proficient or higher" was the same in 2012 as 2011 in English with 81 percent. In math, 68 percent scored "proficient or higher," compared to 61 percent in 2011.
