Additional Evidence/Reflection on Progress Toward Goals
90% of students who sit annually for Regents Exam in Science and Mathematics will pass these assessments by the final year of school’s charter.
We continue to be committed to this expectation for high levels of academic attainment for all of our students with the final year of our school’s charter in mind. Although this is a long term goal we have achieved our long range (5 year) achievement target in the area of Science as demonstrated by externally moderated measures primarily performance on the New York State Regents Examination.
The students in our third cohort (9th grade) met and exceeded expectations in Science as measured by their performance on the June 2009 New York State Living Environment Regents Examination. The performance results of the 9th grade demonstrates that 90% passed at the new state cutoff score >65. These results also demonstrate that we have met our achievement target for the final year of charter at the end of Year Three. Please see the documents below.
