NYS Education Department Assessments, Grades 3-8

I just saw the Assessments for grades 3-8 for HCS and MECS, so I'll put them down with links:

MECS 3-8

Grade 8 ELA	53	34	30.2	28.3	7.5	298
Grade 8 Math	52	32.7	46.2	21.2	0	296

 The median scores would be 1,1,2,2,2,1,2,1,2,2,2,2.

HCS 3-8

Group	#Tested	%Level 1	%Level 2	%Level 3	%Level 4	Mean Scale
Grade 3 ELA	51	27.5	39.2	27.5	5.9	309
Grade 3 Math	51	25.5	29.4	35.3	9.8	308
Grade 4 ELA	46	23.9	41.3	28.3	6.5	302
Grade 4 Math	46	32.6	41.3	17.4	8.7	293
Grade 5 ELA	37	35.1	40.5	13.5	10.8	300
Grade 5 Math	37	29.7	37.8	21.6	10.8	303
Grade 6 ELA	40	15	47.5	12.5	25	311
Grade 6 Math	40	25	27.5	15	32.5	315
Grade 7 ELA	31	9.7	19.4	35.5	35.5	329
Grade 7 Math	31	16.1	29	38.7	16.1	320
Grade 8 ELA	41	26.8	26.8	24.4	22	311
Grade 8 Math	41	29.3	41.5	24.4	4.9	297

 The median scores would be 2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,3,3,2,2.
(update: In other words, the median performance levels for MECS student groups are split between "does not meet" the standards and "partially meets". The median performance levels for HCS are split between "partially meets" and "meets".)

NY State Assessment Test Results, ELA/Math 2013

Tables:

ELA = English Language Arts		Level 1: Students performing at this level are well below proficient in standards for their grade.	Level 2: Students performing at this level are below proficient in standards for their grade.	Level 3: Students performing at this level are proficient in standards for their grade.	Level 4: Students performing at this level excel above the standards for their grade.		Level 3+4: Students who are performing at or above the standards for their grade

NOTE: in 2013, the NYS Assessment test was revised to fit the Common Core standards. As a result, statewide scores dropped significantly compared to previous years. The statewide average for passing (Level 3=Level 4) was 31%.
