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.
