New York State Education Department officials set a Nov. 4 release date of reading and math results for third-through-eighth graders.
“The data should have been made public months ago — as it was each year in the past,” Peter Warren, director of research at the Empire Center, wrote in a blog post.
“NYSED has had the full exam results since it released them in tranches to parents and schools back in August,” said Warren. “Sadly, the withholding of this particular dataset is especially damaging because it contains information about the nature and extent of pandemic learning loss that should be informing the public debate over how that loss is remedied,” said Warren.Emily DeSantis, a spokesperson for the agency, responded the “commissioner’s decision on the appeal settles this matter.”The New York City Department of Education chose to release its own results Sep. 28, shortly after getting the green light.
“It could be developmental,” said David Bloomfield, a professor of education law and policy at Brooklyn College and the CUNY Graduate Center. “Kids didn’t do well during the pandemic learning to read, but the kids who knew how to read continued to be able to read at grade level.”
