What this means: About 57% of students here test proficient in math and reading, compared with the roughly 65% typical for New York schools with a similar share of low-income students. BeatsExpectations measures results against demographically similar schools rather than by raw scores, and this school falls within the typical range, neither among New York's top nor bottom 10%.

BeatsExpectations runs a per-state regression of proficiency on free/reduced-lunch share, then scores each school by residual. How this is calculated →

How to read these scores

What is NYS Assessments + Regents?
New York public-school students in grades 3 through 8 take annual state assessments in English Language Arts and Math each spring, plus Science at grades 5 and 8. High school students take Regents Examinations in core subjects (ELA, Algebra I, Living Environment, etc.) which are required for a Regents diploma.
What does "% Proficient (Level 3 + Level 4)" mean?
It is the percentage of students at the school who scored at Level 3 ("Proficient") or Level 4 ("Excels at Standards") on the 3-8 test, or at the passing threshold (65 or above) on a Regents Examination. New York reports four performance levels for grades 3-8; Levels 3 and 4 indicate grade-level proficiency. A higher number is better.
How should I read a single score?
Each percent represents the share of tested students who performed at grade level or above. Compare the school number against the state, district, and county averages on this page to see whether it is above or below typical.
How is the state average calculated?
It is a weighted average, not a simple average of each school's number. We multiply each public school's score by how many of its students tested, add those together for all schools in New York, and divide by the total students tested that year. This way a big school with 1,500 students counts more than a small school with 50 students, which is the right way to ask "how did the typical student do this year?". District and county averages on this page use the same method, just scoped to that district or county.
Where does this data come from?
New York State Education Department (NYSED), Grades 3-8 ELA/Math/Science assessments + Regents Examinations, via the NYSED School Report Card database (data.nysed.gov). School-level All Students subgroup. Headline metric is the cumulative "Proficient" rate (Level 3 + Level 4 for 3-8; passing Regents score for HS).
How often is it updated?
NYS Assessments + Regents is administered once a year (spring). Results are released by the state in the summer or early fall. We refresh this page after each annual release.
