MAP: See How Your Elementary School Ranks on State Tests
(DNAinfo) Amy Zimmer and Nigel Chiwaya — Fourth graders at elite gifted and talented programs in Manhattan outperformed students at more than 743 other elementary schools on state English and math exams, the results of this year’s tests show.
All five of the top scoring schools on the fourth grade English Language Arts exam were schools with gifted programs and four of the top five scorers on the math exam were, too.
The Upper West Side’s Special Music School, a program that accepts students based on auditions and has only 15 kids per grade, was the top school in the city, with 100 percent of its fourth grade class passing the English and math exams — the only school to have a 100 percent proficiency rate for both.
DNAinfo New York looked at performance for fourth grade test results, which often factor heavily into students’ middle school admissions.
