ROY-HART'S MIXED REGENTS RESULTS

Earlier this week the NY Education Department released the results of the 2009-2010 Regents Exams for all districts state-wide.

How did Roy-Hart perform?

The first number represents the percentage of test takers who received a passing grade (a grade of 65 and higher). The second number represents those who excelled (85 and higher).

Middle School Tests
Earth Science - 100 - 62
Algebra - 100 - 27

Senior High Tests
Spanish - 98 - 59
English - 96 - 26
Living environment - 92 - 40
Physics - 90 - 35
Algebra - 88 - 17
US History - 87 - 31
Global History - 78 - 23
Chemistry - 74 - 11
Earth science - 71 - 29

In a nutshell, Roy-Hart students do well in knowing non-math subjects, yet only fairly master that subject matter.

Mathematically, Roy-Hart students are major under-performers. State officials believe that students need to score at least 80 on high school math exams to be on a path to earn at least a C in those subjects in college.
