Fewer than half of New York City public school students demonstrated proficiency in reading this year, signaling challenges in changing educational approaches amidst a significant overhaul.
Data indicates a slight drop in reading proficiency by about two and a half points, contrasting with a rise in math scores by over three points.
Inequity persists as about 66% of white students were proficient in reading, while only 36% of Hispanic students, the largest ethnic group, reached the same level.
Education officials suggest the decline in reading scores is a normal part of reform processes, echoing patterns seen in other states like Mississippi.
