LARGE INCREASE IN “HIGH PERFORMING/GAP CLOSING” AND “RAPIDLY IMPROVING” SCHOOLS ANNOUNCED
A total of 1,759 public schools, 19 charter schools, and 288 public school districts have been named “High Performing/Gap Closing” under the No Child Left Behind Act, Regents Chancellor Robert M. Bennett and State Education Commissioner Richard Mills announced today.
“We must focus special attention on schools that need to improve the performance of children who are frequently underserved,” Chancellor Bennett said. “Today, we are pleased to recognize so many schools and districts in New York that have shown real progress in meeting this challenge.”
“It is encouraging that half of New York’s eligible schools have shown the kind of progress needed for them to be recognized today. The Regents will continue to take aggressive action to ensure that every student in every school has a chance to succeed,” Commissioner Richard Mills said.
