The Success Academy team grabbed fistfuls of gold medals on the state math and English exams this year…

Success Academy launches an innovative summer program to provide scholars with new learning opportunities.

If you want to find real improvement, you need to look at schools whose scores increased more than the seven points that were almost certainly attributable to giving students unlimited time. There is a set of schools that meets that criteria: the city’s charter schools, where English proficiency increased by 14 percentage points, double the statewide average.

New York’s public school kids registered impressive gains on this year’s standardized English test — with the city outpacing the rest of the state to catch up with statewide proficiency rates for the first time.

In fact, the single-year leap to 38% of children reading at or above grade level from 30% represented a stunning eight-percentage-point gain, roughly four times the average increase since 2011.

The city’s largest charter school network is once again boasting of high student pass rates on state exams. Test scores released by the state Friday show 94% of Success Academy students passed the 2016 math exam and 82% passed the reading exam.

The number of charter schools ranked among the city’s top-scoring schools on state reading and math exams has more than tripled since 2013, a new analysis by the pro-charter school group Families for Excellent Schools shows.

Nearly half of the city’s 20 top-scoring public schools for grades 3-8 were charters — where students are mainly black and Hispanic. A single charter network, Success Academy, had the top five schools in the entire state in math, and two of the top five in English.

Minority students at city charter schools significantly outperformed their public school peers on 2016 state math and reading exams, according to an advocacy group’s analysis of recently released city figures.

94% of SA students passed the 2016 math exam and 82% passed the reading exam.

Charter-school student gains on the 2016 state math and English exams markedly outpaced their public-school counterparts, according to state Department of Education figures released Friday.
