New Spotlight Series Examines Trends in NYC Student Outcomes
|
|
| Since the Research Alliance’s founding, we’ve sought to provide rigorous, nonpartisan evidence about the problems facing New York City’s public schools—and about the impact of policies and practices designed to address those problems. As we mark our 10th anniversary, we are taking stock of progress and challenges in NYC’s education system. |

| | Our new five-part Spotlight series will explore how key student outcomes have changed during the last two decades. In our first post, we examine how NYC’s high school graduation and college enrollment rates have changed over time, highlighting notable improvements, as well as persistent gaps associated with race/ethnicity and poverty. In subsequent posts, we will explore elementary and middle school achievement, attendance, and links between neighborhood poverty and outcomes. |
