Nearly half of New York City\u2019s third through eighth graders passed their state reading tests last school year, while about 38% passed math, according to scores released by city officials Wednesday.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The scores are the first measure of how students across the five boroughs have fared in reading and math since the coronavirus pandemic upended in-person schooling and left many children grappling with isolation and grief. Though schools gave students other city-mandated assessments last year, officials have refused to publicly release the results.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the pandemic, kids went through all kinds of challenges that they\u2019re still recovering from,\u201d schools Chancellor David Banks told reporters Wednesday. \u201cNo matter what the latest test results tell you, I can tell you the system is broken in far too many ways. We are trying to create a new way forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Overall reading scores increased slightly, up 1.6 percentage points from 2019, while math scores dropped significantly, down 7.6 percentage points. The city didn\u2019t release results for charter schools.<\/p>\n

Looking at grade-by-grade data, however, provides a different picture for reading scores: For the youngest students, third and fourth graders, scores fell by 4 percentage points and 6 percentage points respectively.<\/p>\n

City officials compared the scores to 2019 results, noting the past two years of disruptions. The state canceled the exams in 2020. The following year, the state allowed families to opt into taking them the following year. Just one-fifth of city students took them.<\/p>\n

State officials, however, cautioned against comparing the test results to 2019 because of the ongoing effects of the pandemic and the \u201cdifferent rates of participation among students.\u201d Roughly 10% of city students opted out of either reading or math exams, compared with 4% in 2019, education department officials said.<\/p>\n

The percentage of children who passed math tests dropped for every major student group, with the largest decline among Latino students, by 10 percentage points. In contrast, passing rates for reading grew for every student group, with the largest increase among students known as \u201cever ELLs,\u201d or students who were once considered learning English as a new language but are not anymore.<\/p>\n

Disparities remained between white and Asian American students compared with their Black and Latino peers. About 70.5% of Asian American and 67% of white students passed reading exams, compared with 35.8% of students who are Black and 36.8% who are Latino. For math, 68.3% of Asian American students and 58.5% of white students passed compared with 20.6% of Black children and 23.3% of Latino students.<\/p>\n

Disparities also persisted among students with higher needs. Among students with disabilities, 18.3% passed reading and 14.4% passed math. Among students learning English as a new language, 12.7% passed reading, while 15% scored proficient in math.<\/p>\n

The scores could be one tool for schools to understand which students need more support this year. In response to the dip in national test scores, U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said schools should be prioritizing COVID relief funds to boost academic support and extra tutoring.<\/p>\n

However, as federal funds dry up, schools are receiving less money this year to create extra tutoring programs or provide extra support to students with disabilities. And unlike last year, schools can use that pool of money to hire staff as schools grapple with budget cuts, tied to projected declining enrollment.<\/p>\n

Aaron Pallas, a professor at Teachers College and an expert in testing, doesn\u2019t believe the scores can be compared to 2019 because of declining enrollment and higher opt-out rates. Compared with 2019, 21% fewer children took math tests and 18% fewer children sat for reading tests, according to city data.<\/p>\n

Pallas said he expects people to use the scores to bolster arguments that traditional public schools don\u2019t work, as Republican gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin has, but that there\u2019s not enough information to make those conclusions.<\/p>\n

\u201cQuite honestly, I don\u2019t really think [the scores are] that useful, certainly not for building level or district-level decisions about the allocation of resources,\u201d Pallas said, adding that parents also won\u2019t have the right context to understand their children\u2019s results.<\/p>\n

Some advocates said the scores signal that schools need more resources, particularly for younger children who were learning to read when the pandemic first hit, pointing to the dip in reading pass rates for third and fourth graders. Kim Sweet, executive director of Advocates for Children New York, said \u201cit will be critical\u201d to learn from new programs focused on improving literacy.<\/p>\n

The scores could be a factor in middle and high school admissions this year. Schools that screen students were previously allowed to use test scores as one factor for admission, but that was paused during the pandemic and barred last year under former Mayor Bill de Blasio. City officials are expected to announce this year\u2019s admissions criteria soon.<\/p>\n

Banks has been critical of standardized testing, saying that schools that are laser-focused on exams can\u2019t offer a \u201cfully comprehensive learning experience.\u201d On Wednesday, after touring classrooms at his alma mater, Hillcrest High School, Banks emphasized that the measure of student success is whether they\u2019ll be prepared for quality jobs after they graduate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe return on investment is not the scores that they got on standardized exams,\u201d Banks said. \u201cTest scores are important, but they\u2019re not everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unlike past years, Wednesday\u2019s test scores could not immediately be compared to other New York districts or even statewide. In a departure, this year\u2019s scores were released by New York City rather than the state, which has not yet released statewide results.<\/p>\n

After initially barring districts from sharing the scores, state officials gave the OK last week for local districts.<\/p>\n

Officials plan to release statewide scores sometime this fall, but have not said when, and blamed the delay on a cumbersome process for releasing both preliminary and final scores this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
