Student Performance on Grade 4 English

Student Performance on Grade 4 English

  • Analysis
  • Charts
  • Data Tables

What does this measure?

The percent of students tested who scored at level 3 or above-meeting or exceeding the state standard-on the state Grade 4 English exam. The test is scored by placing a student's performance in one of four levels.

Why is this important?

Early reading skills are critical to a successful school experience and a productive work life.

How is Orange County performing?

In 2017, 39% of fourth-graders in Orange passed the English exam (met or exceeded state standards), similar to the regional rate of 37% and below the state (exluding NYC) rate of 41%. The rate in 2017 was also a 3-point increase from 2016. Among Orange school districts, passing rates were lowest in Washingtonville (18%) and highest in Greenwood Lake (71%).

It should be noted that a substantial number of students did not take state exams in 2017 due to parent concerns about testing in schools. The large percentage of students not taking the exam may have an effect on overall achievement levels and should give caution when interpreting results. The opt out rate was 34% in Orange, 37% in Dutchess and 35% for Ulster.

Notes about the data

Changes in the state's testing program over the last decade impact the comparability of test results year to year. In addition to the shift to Common Core Standards in 2013, the state in 2010 revised scoring of its tests, raising the threshold for passing. The Common Core was adopted in most states to better prepare students for success beyond high school by emphasizing problem solving, understanding and synthesis, comprehension of nonfiction text, and other higher-order thinking skills. Data for this indicator are expected to be released in the third quarter.
