NYC students improve math, reading scores after ‘realignment to new standards’
More New York City public school students scored proficient in state tests in math and reading in the spring than previously, though the Adams administration acknowledged it’s not an apple-to-apples comparison, because the state recently changed its standards.According to city officials, the percentage of students in third through eighth grade achieving proficiency in English Language Arts rose from 49% in 2022 to 51.7% in 2023. Math proficiency increased from 37.9% in 2022 to 49.9% in 2023.
The test score data showed one major outlier: Proficiency rates for sixth-graders in English Language Arts fell to 47.8% this year from 56.3% last year. “Parents need to keep the test scores in perspective,” said David Bloomfield, professor of education leadership, law & policy at Brooklyn College and The CUNY Graduate Center. “As always the public should take claims of improved test scores with a grain of salt, a large grain of salt. … There’s too much noise in the data for the administration to take a victory lap.”
