Laptop program a hit in rural high school - Associated Press

Most of the attention over laptop computers in Maine schools has focused on Gov. Angus King's program to arm all seventh- and eight-graders with their own laptops. But at Piscataquis Community High School, every high school student not just seventh- and eighth-graders has a laptop.

Students and educators credit the computers with rising aspirations, improved grades and fewer disciplinary problems.
