- The percentage of NY students who were identified as proficient or advanced fell from 31 to 29 percent.
- The average score remained the same, at 149, while the national average rose from 149 in 2009 to 151 in 2011 -- NY state appears to be losing ground to the nation as a whole.
- NY state ranked 26th out of 46 participating states in 2009, but 34th out of 50 in 2011. Once again, our state appears to be losing the race.
- Ignoring statistical significance and looking merely at average scores 2009 vs. 2011, 39 states showed increases of at least one point from 2009 to 2011, 5 states (including NY, NJ, CT, and RI) stayed the same, and 2 states (IL and PA -- how are those ed reforms working for you there in Chicago and Philly?) declined in their average scores.
