Standards
Performance on Regents Exams for All New York
Students
New York State is currently phasing-in the new Regents Learning
Standards, which will require students to pass Regents exams in five subject
areas to graduate from high school.
As each new Regents exam is introduced, there is a transition
period of a few years in which students can graduate from high school
with a score of 55 and earn a "local diploma." A score of 65
will entitle students to a Regents diploma. After the transition period
for each exam, all students must score 65 to receive a high school diploma,
the Regents diploma. Students will no longer be able to earn a "local
diploma." Below, you will see passing rates broken down into percentage
of students scoring 55-100, 65-100, and 85-100 (passing with distinction).
The following tables list the performance rates of students
in each New York City high school superintendency as well as the passing
rates for New York City and New York State. The figures are based on all
students including general education and special education students regardless
of services received. The tables include data for both the 1998-1999 and
1999-2000 school years in the subject areas that are being phased-in as
graduation requirements. Last year’s graduating class was only required
to pass the English Regents exam to graduate, the first of the five exams
to be phased-in. This year, the class of 2000-01 will be required to pass
the English and the Math A Regents exams.

New York City Board of Education.
ENGLISH REGENTS EXAM
The English Regents exam was a graduation
requirement for the class of 99-00.

MATH A REGENTS EXAM
The Math A Regents exam is mandatory for high school
seniors graduating in 2000-01 (the freshman class of 1997). However this
new Regents exam was not mandatory last year (1999-00). This table reflects
the scores of those students who chose to take the new regents and does
not reflect the student performance of those students opting to take the
older math Regents exams (Sequential Math I and Sequential Math III).

This chart does not reflect students who took the local
version of Math A.
The new Regents standards are being phased-in over
a seven-year period. New Regents exams will be phased-in the place of
the old Regents exams. The exams being phased-in are the Global History
and Geography Regents; the U.S. History and Government Regents; and at
least one of the new Regents science exams (by the end of implementation
there will be four options). The new Living Environment Regents will replace
the old Biology Regents.
