Nearly 900 NYC Schools Face Concerns Over Grade Inflation and Weak Accountability - Internewscast Journal

The report says 906 schools are failing and 409,379 students are affected despite $40 billion in annual city education spending.

  • Nearly half of New York City public schools are failing to meet standardized math and reading benchmarks, with 409,379 students—43 percent of the total—attending these struggling schools, according to a new Success Academy report.
  • New York City spent $40 billion on public education in 2024—$36,293 per pupil, double the United States average of $17,619—yet continues funding a class-size mandate without supporting evidence.
  • About one-third of the 906 schools have appeared on state "accountability" lists since 2012, with some designated as failures for decades, the analysis found.
  • "By Any Honest Measure," the report said, the system chooses to protect itself rather than serve students; city and state policies failed to address the crisis or hid it.
  • Contrast this with Arkansas, where schools succeed while spending less; the report urges removing DEI and social justice agendas to refocus on teaching basics.
