New York School Accountability
To measure the quality of education in New York, the state board of regents uses several methods: student achievement tests, graduation rates, dropout rates, teacher evaluations, and standardized test scores.
Education in New York is divided into three types of schools: elementary schools (grades K–5), middle schools (grades 6–8), and high schools (grades 9–12). There are more than 2,000 elementary schools, about 4,500 middle schools, and nearly 3,000 high schools.
Students in New York public schools are required to take courses in English, mathematics, science, social studies, and health. They may choose electives such as art, music, physical education, foreign languages, computer technology, and career and technical education. Students who do not pass their classes have the option of repeating them or taking an alternative course.
Schools in New York are graded according to two different sets of criteria. One set measures how well students perform on statewide tests, while another evaluates teachers based on student performance. Teachers are evaluated every year using these standards.
Schools in New York are classified as either "high performing" or "low performing." High performing schools receive extra resources and assistance to improve academic performance. Low performing schools are given additional funds to help improve their programs.
