Previously, I listed the "opt out" numbers in the ELA test and as that number slowly approaches the 200,000 mark, preliminary results show that the Math "opt out" numbers are between 2%-10% higher in most school districts. However, it appears the school districts are being pressured by the State not to publish the data and the Math "opt outs" are only slowly and reluctantly being released by the school districts. As of Saturday, the latest "opt out" values are as follows:
ELA 193,067 with 76.2% reporting.
Math 150,367 with 44.0% reporting.
The website for the latest "opt outs" can be found Here.
The table below lists some of the highest "opt out" Math numbers for various Long Island school districts.
Comsewogue.........83.5%
Rocky Point...........80.9%
Sayville................74.6%
East Islip..............74.2%
South Country.......70.9%
East Quogue.........70.2%
Bellmore...............70.1%
Patchogue............69.5%
Rockville Center.....69.1%
Levittown.............67.6%
Seaford...............65.1%
Finally, here are some other "opt out" Math rates throughout the State.
West Seneca.........73%
Mohanasen...........61%
Lafayette........... .56%
North Rockland......53%
Mahopac..............52%
I hope to list a complete rundown of the "opt out" rates of the school districts in New York State next week.

Today, Cuomo said the tests were meaningless for students. Can we now return to teaching instead of testing?
ReplyDeleteThis latest Cuomo comment needs to go mainstream. Why don't the daily rags put his comment on the front page ? state test grades are meaningless yet you waste a week of school on this garbage!!!!!!!!!!!! wow what a joke..it would have been better if he stayed in Cuba...No let me rethink maybe if the mainstream media reports this comment then we can get 90% to opt out next year
