The latest results are in for 4th and 8th grade math and English tests in the National Assessment of Educational Progress, known as NAEP.
And state Education Commissioner Richard Mills is very happy.
Here’s the beginning of the statement his folks just released:Results for the National Assessment of Educational Progress announced today show that since the late 1990s when the Board of Regents raised standards, New York State has made significant gains in 4th grade reading and math and in 8th grade math, especially among Black and Hispanic students.
“It is encouraging that New York has made progress over the past decade in raising the achievement of students overall, and especially our neediest students,� State Education Commissioner Richard Mills said. “But short-term results are mixed, with substantial gains in fourth grade math but not in other subjects. We must keep working hard to build on the long-term improvements and closethe achievement gap.�
