Statewide Performance on 3-8 ELA and Math “The test scores show that students from all economic, race, ethnicity and geographic backgrounds can and are making progress. This is still a transition period. It will take time before the changes taking place in our classrooms are fully reflected in the test scores. But the growth we see is directly attributable to the dedication and determination of so many classroom teachers and school leaders across the state.” Meryl Tisch, Board of Regents Chancellor department-releases-grades-3-8-assessment-results
