Sixteen Beaufort County schools met AYP (Adequate Yearly Progess) standards this year, four more than last year.

WSAV's Holly Bounds tells the story of Whale Branch Middle School, which seems to have turned things around, reaching AYP for the second straight year. Check out Bounds' story here and the video below.

The Island Packet also has an article about the school district's gains and has a list of which schools met AYP and which didn't.

And don't forget the Digitel has you covered for more back to school information.
