Math, English Minimum Test Scores Being Lowered
March 17, 2023 | New York
New York state is preparing to lower its minimum test scores for student proficiency in math and English following what an official described as a “learning loss” during the coronavirus pandemic.
The changes come after the scores for third through eighth grade tests slumped in 2022 compared to 2019, with no eighth grader in Schenectady — which has a population of nearly 70,000 — achieving proficiency in math, according to the Times Union. (Excerpt from Fox News.)
