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.
