US NEWS & WORLD PUSHES BACK---IT'S TIME FOR NY TO DISCLOSE ITS HIGH SCHOOL DATA

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.



The state’s refusal to release aggregated, depersonalized AP score data is making it harder for families to choose the right high school.

In a recent campaign ad, Gov. Kathy Hochul tells voters, “if you really want to know what is going on in a school, talk to a lunch lady.”

No doubt, lunch ladies are hardworking people who care about the students they serve each day. And they may even support some of the governor’s positive school initiatives, including a ban on cell phones, free lunches and universal pre-K.

But lunch ladies don’t measure high school performance. U.S. News & World Report does, with our annual Best High Schools rankings, the 20th edition of which we published in August. Until this year, New York state participated in these rankings by authorizing the release of aggregated, depersonalized information showing how New York high school students performed on AP tests. AP scores are an important indicator of teaching quality and academic performance at high schools, which is why U.S. News uses that data as one factor when producing our high schools rankings.

This year, however, New York state education policymakers withheld that data,....MORE AT Opinion: It is time for NY to disclose its high school data - City & State New York
