New York: 2024 Assessment Results
ELA drops compared to 2023; math gains
Overview
Here at the 2024 State Assessment Data Substack, we’re releasing these posts as states release their data (and we clean it). To keep it brief, every post will have three sets of graphs: 1) math and ELA test scores for grades 3-8 over time, 2) math and ELA scores by race/ethnicity, and 3) outcomes by economic status, when possible.
Our intention is to give you the big picture: where are the state scores going, and how that differs by student group. These graphs are made with Zelma.ai, and if you want to explore up through the 2023 data yourself, you can do that here. All available 2024 assessment data will be published later this month. You can read more about Zelma in our post here.
Today: New York
State Assessment Background
New York’s student outcome data come from the New York State Testing Program (NYSTP); this does not include outcomes for the Regents exam. The results below reflect student proficiency levels in grades 3–8 in math and ELA between 2023 and 2024.
Spring 2023 reflects a new baseline measuring student knowledge and skills as defined by grade in the New York State Next Generation Learning Standards for ELA and math. We therefore do not include years prior to 2023 here, as they are not comparable.
Overall Trends
New York’s overall proficiency rates for students in grades 3–8 dropped in ELA compared to 2023, while rising in math.
ELA: Proficiency rates dropped from 48% to 46% between 2023 and 2024.
Math: Proficiency rates rose from 50% to 52% from 2023 to 2024.
