Urbana Middle hits progress goals for 1st time since '06

URBANA – For the past two years, Urbana Middle School failed to meet state learning standards, and one of the reasons for the shortfall was test scores for special education students.

"We hadn't moved in a couple of years, and we were pretty disappointed with that, because we have a wonderful staff and they were working hard," said Principal Nancy Clinton.
