District 20 testing scores soar
District 20 Superintendent Karina Costantino announced third through eighth grade 2012 Math and English Language Arts (ELA) testing scores at District 20s Community Education Council monthly meeting on September 19 at P.S. 205 in Bensonhurst.
District 20 student scores are leaps and bounds ahead of the city and the borough in the city and statewide exams, although not all of them are passing grades. Students scoring 4 exceed proficiency standards; those who score 3 meet proficiency standards; students who score a 2 meet basic standards; and students who score a 1 are below standard, according to the New York State Department of Education.
District 20 is keeping up with the bar being raised every year, Costantino said. Parental support helps us to hold our own in these times.
