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.
