More Than 100 NYC Schools Identified as Struggling
January 17, 2019
Chalkbeat reports that in New York, state education officials recently released a list of struggling schools, including 124 in New York City. These are the “first round of designations under a new method of identifying low-performing schools” under the federal Every Student Succeeds Act. “While test scores and graduation rates continue to influence the ratings most, state officials said the new system offers a more nuanced look at school performance by emphasizing student growth over time and taking into account the new criteria.”
