The city released its annual school Progress Reports today and SchoolBook has conveniently mapped out the results, with green dots indicating improvement and red dots indicating a lower grade. A quick glance at letter grades for East Village and Lower East Side schools revealed that 16 of them held steady, 5 of them dropped a letter grade from last year, and 10 of them showed improvement, with P.S. 34 Franklin D. Roosevelt and P.S. 137 John L. Bernstein being the only ones that improved beyond just one letter grade (from C to A and from F to C, respectively).
According to SchoolBook, the progress reports are based on “student progress (60 percent), student performance (25 percent) and school environment (15 percent). Environment includes student attendance, as well as feedback from parents, students, and teachers about their schools.” The site also explains that “75 percent of a school’s score comes from comparing it to a ‘peer group’ of about 40 other schools with similar demographics. The remaining 25 percent is based on a comparison with all schools citywide serving the same grades.” Here, now, are this year’s results.
