Educating, Organizing, & Mobilizing

When college readiness was factored into the equation, school officials found that only one in four students who graduate from New York high schools are ready for college without requiring remedial coursework. According to the New York Daily News, the Department of Education used standards set by the City University of New York in making these determinations. CUNY requires a minimum score of 65 on five Regents exams, with a score of 75 on the English Regents and an 80 on math. State Regents requirements for graduation are lower. “What is clear is that New York City DOE, in the design of these progress reports, is acknowledging that their graduates are not achieving the necessary level of performance,” State Education Commissioner John King told the Wall Street Journal. “The responsibility then falls on them – and us – to do everything possible to improve teaching and learning.”
