High-performing districts
-
- May
- 16
Many schools and districts in Westchester, Rockland and Putnam received high marks from the state Education Department for their academic performance and for closing the achievement gap.
In all, nearly 150 schools and 24 school districts in the region were designated as “high performing†while another 22 schools and four districts were named as “rapidly improving†by the state Department of Education.
The reason? Students scored well on state-required English and math tests, which are given in grades three through eight. Journal News reporters Randi Weiner and Dwight R. Worley wrote about the designation and what it means in today’s Journal News. You can find their coverage here: Nearly 150 schools show improvement.
