| High School Choice in NYC:
A Report on the School Choices and Placements of Low-Achieving Students |
| |
School choice policies aim to enable
families to choose a school that they believe will best meet their child’s needs.
In New York City, choice, along with the development of a diverse portfolio of options,
has played a central role in the Department of Education’s efforts to improve high schools.
This new
report examines the choices and placements of New York City’s lowest-achieving students: those scoring among the bottom 20 percent on standardized state
tests in middle school. Focusing on data from 2007 to 2011, the report looks at who these
low-achieving students are and how their choices and school assignments
compared to those of their higher-achieving peers. Download the paper from our website.
