ALBANY — The results are in for student performance on the final Regents exams.
The Regents’ annual examination results are those administered in August, January and June of the reporting year.
The data released by the state Education Department shows how students fared on the August 2023 and January 2024 Algebra I Regents exams, as well as the English Language Arts, Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Environmental, Earth Science, Chemistry, Physics of June 2024, Global History Geography II and American History-Government Tests.
Report card data for all school districts can be found at https://data.nysed.gov/.
The data shows the number of students tested and deemed proficient on each exam, and how that compared to the state average. Students who score at level 3, 4 or 5 are considered proficient.
“This data includes annual student results on New York State standardized assessments: Grade 3-8 English Language Arts, Grade 3-8 Math, Grade 5-8 Science, Annual Regents Exams, Total Cohort Regents Exams, New York State English as a Second Language Achievement Test ( NYSESLAT), New York State Alternate Assessments (NYSAA) and the most recent results from the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP), administered by the National Center for Educational Statistics,” said SED spokesperson JP O’Hare in a statement.
Visitors can search the data by county, Board of Cooperative Educational Services region, district, school and higher education. Reports can also be downloaded and there is a search bar to search for specific schools, districts, colleges, universities, provinces or BOCES regions.
In addition, an archive contains data dating back to 2001-2002.
Alan C. Oliver, principal of Massena Central High School, recently updated the district’s board of education on the latest results.
He said one of the factors affecting student performance this year is the end of a “COVID special appeal” in August 2023, which will remove a “safety net” for students. Students typically need a 65 or higher on a Regents exam to pass.
However, among the special professions, they received Regents points if they passed the class for four quarters and scored between 51 and 64 on the Regents exam. In Massena’s case, it was also the first time that 15:1 students took some classes. of the exams, which affected the district’s grades.
A 15:1 special education classroom is a special education environment in which a certified special education teacher works with up to 15 students. These classes are designed for students with mild to moderate learning disabilities and require a high level of individualized attention.
