60 More New York City Schools Get an ‘F’
Sixty New York City elementary and middle schools have been newly identified as failing under the federal No Child Left Behind law, according to a list released on Thursday by the State Education Department, which also showed that the number of failing schools was rising in both the city and the state.
The list was released more than a month after the city gave out its own grades to more than 1,200 schools. And a comparison of the two assessments showed some surprising contradictions, putting into sharp focus the difficulty of measuring what makes a school successful.
More than half the elementary and middle schools that got an F under the city’s new grading system are in good standing under the federal law, while more than 20 percent of the schools that the city gave A’s are considered failing, the state said.
