Welcome to New York’s flunking factories.>Failure in the city’s public education system has become “normalized” — and even bolstered by grade inflation and fixing — with nearly half of schools consistently failing their students, a bombshell new report found.The sweeping analysis, conducted by the Success Academy Charter Schools network, found that in those 906 public schools, fewer than half of students passed math, reading, or both, on state exams last year.>In total, a staggering 43% of the system’s approximately 912,000 students are in these failing schools, according to the shocking report released Tuesday.>Of the 906 schools, a majority of students in 503 of them failed both math and reading.>About a third of the 906 schools have appeared on state “accountability” lists since 2012, and some have been designated as failures for decades, the analysis found.Instead of attacking the 5-alarm fire, the stinging indictment claims city and state policies have only worsened the situation by failing to address the scandal or trying to hide it.“These are not accidents. They are the product of a system that has chosen, year after year, to protect itself rather than serve its students,” the report, titled, “By Any Honest Measure,” said.“Imagine a hospital where more than half of patients died from routine procedures. A fire department that failed to respond to more than half its calls. A municipal water utility that delivered contaminated water to more than half its residents, or air traffic controllers whose lack of oversight regularly resulted in massive casualties. >“No other public institution would be permitted to operate in this way.”https://nypost.com/2026/07/07/us-news/900-nyc-schools-failing-students-amid-grade-inflation-lax-accountability/
But the level of failure in the nation’s largest public school system “has been normalized — and, worse, systematically obscured.”Success Academy head, Eva Moskowitz, said the report marked the most extensive review to date of consistently low-performing schools.The report also accused New York policy makers and educators of actually rewarding failure — including by pumping more funds into low-performing schools with dwindling enrollment.Eva Moskowitz speaking at a press conference at City Hall Park.>New York City spent $40 billion on public education in 2024 — $36,293 per pupil, double the national average of $17,619.>Lawmakers pump more money into the failing schools, to more than $40,000 per student, the report found.According to the analysis, 34% of elementary students attend failing schools, with that percentage going up to 49% for middle schoolers and 62% for high schoolers, based on test scores.>In many cases, students are routed from a failing elementary school to a failing middle school to a failing high school.>Many high school graduates are unprepared for college-level work and have to take remedial courses when enrolled in CUNY’s community colleges, the report noted.>The problem would be worse if not for grade inflation — and the accountability system for both students and teachers is a joke, the analysis charged.The student grading policy measures effort, participation, and attendance — but excludes performance on the state’s standardized math and English exams. Using state test scores as part of a student’s grade was scrapped by the Panel for Educational Policy under then-Mayor Bill de Blasio.>It means nearly all students who score poorly on state exams end up getting good grades and are promoted.Meanwhile, state policy forbids using student test scores to evaluate teachers. Therefore, nearly all teachers receive satisfactory ratings.
>The report noted: “98% of teachers [rated] effective. 43% of students failing. The math doesn’t add up.”The state Education Department also comes under severe criticism — for repeatedly lowering benchmarks to boost passing rates on its math and reading exams, the report said.The manipulation is exposed when students score much lower on the federal government’s National Assessment of Educational Progress exams, considered the gold standard for testing.Albany has participated in downplaying or covering up failure, the report charges.>The state no longer releases its own comparisons on standardized test results by traditional public versus charter schools, as the latter on the whole perform better on the exams.But state lawmakers are also blocking entry into alternative education programs, such as higher-performing charters, by imposing a cap on the number allowed to open.A decade ago, the state Legislature also approved a law striking the phrase “persistently failing school,” changing the term to “persistently struggling.”The biggest wasteful folly: state lawmakers and Gov. Kathy Hochul’s approval of the class size reduction law in New York City.The legislation — passed at the behest of the powerful United Federation Teachers president Michael Mulgrew — comes despite enrollment in city public schools dipping by 123,000 students since 2020, the report said.The city Department of Education failed to consolidate or close schools after a decade of enrollment decline, the report said.>The struggling and failing schools already have lower class sizes because families abandoned them, and the report said evidence doesn’t support the mandate setting classroom caps. Of the roughly 900 failing schools cited in the report, 167 were woefully under-enrolled.Another budget drain is the city Department of Education’s commitment to “propping up schools” with plummeting enrollment.
>More than 800 schools out of the roughly 1,800 in the system have fewer than 400 students, while 241 had fewer than 200 students enrolled.The politicians have contributed to the problem by holding such schools “harmless” — maintaining their level of funding despite them having fewer students.“Failing schools rob children of their futures,” the report said. “Under-enrolled schools drain the budget for no return. “The class size mandate will spend billions more on schools where class size is already low — and where it has demonstrably not helped,” it adds. “New York City cannot afford any of this in the midst of a significant educational crisis.”The report suggested that the state make test data more readily available; tie teacher and school evaluations to students’ results; stop manipulating state tests and end grade inflation and curb wasteful spending, among other recommendations.
The New York State Education Department dismissed the report, and noted that Success Academy has been fighting a law that bars new charter schools from opening in New York City.“It is the New York State Education Department’s responsibility to meet schools where they are so that every student – regardless of zip code – has an opportunity to succeed,” the SED statement said.“Success Academy’s report is a vehicle to detract from its attempts to circumvent the New York City charter cap and promote its academic achievements by comparing one limited data sample to another.”SED claimed its assessment and accountability data are publicly accessible.“NYSED has continually modified its reporting tools and data presentations to improve accessibility and usability for families, educators, and community stakeholders through the school report card which is publicly available on the NYSED website. These enhancements were designed to make complex information more understandable and meaningful,” the statement said.“Additionally, the report fails to acknowledge that there was no assessment data in 2020 and significantly limited data in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Well, if the students and their parents are all left wing socialists then they cannot and will not be held accountable for being retards, and will always blame someone else for their failures and demand compensation, and if NY is a socialist state they will accept accountability in place of the retarded socialist students and compensate the retarded students with tax payer money. Plus the teachers already know they problem is unfixable, so they just either pass the failing students and sweep it under the rug, or if they believe there is a solution, they'll fail the students
>>538512848this can't be fixed because it's a social problem that people don't want to acknowledge. Single motherhood has been a disaster for society. Not only are the children of single mothers failing, but since there are so many of them, it drags the whole school down so even children whose mothers have common sense are struggling.But nobody wants to admit that feminism was wrong about single mothers, especially not a woke city like NYC. So instead they'll blame capitalism and funding and shit like that.
>>538513735Well yeah that and its single mother's to non whites, the issue wont get fixed because of racial implications and single motherhood implications. Its literally without a solution and will continue to spread and get worse because theyre afraid to admit single mothers cant raise children and browns just cant compete with whites.and do not care to
Funny how the state would rather this just continue than admit single mothers and non whites produce conditions where offspring dont care to compete academically and only care about goyslop/jewish nigger culture
>>538512848>photo shows only white childrenKek
>>538514213true, I've actually been called racist before for blaming single mothers even though I never mentioned race. Even Republicans are afraid to talk about this, but it's one of the most harmful problems in society.
>>538512848>failing in schoolso learning?
segregation would fix all of thisget all those low gpa people out of white schools fucking shitskins
>>538514460That was my first thought as well.
>>538512848Why use a photo of young white little girls? Everybody knows NYC schools is filled with silverback pavement apes.
>>538514362Money printer goes brrrrrrrrr.
>>538514460a subverise classic
>>538512848Public education won’t last under these conditions. Lockdown was already a major hurdle, and admins don’t like challenges. They just keep their heads down push kids through and pass the buck. Many alpha grads will not be literate. The value of a high school education will be zero
>>538514362What about White single mothers of racematched children?
Anything with the word 'public' in it is shit.
>>538512848I hate teachers and school with a passion. They'll let niggers who literally can't read get their diploma but fail me because I don't do their bullshit homework. I got an A on every standardized test, everything that matters, got a 28 on my ACT, a 1300 on the SAT, but oh, you didn't do our 3 hours of homework every night after spending all day actually in school!! I laugh at how miserable teachers are and always proudly vote no on school levies. Fuck school
>>538512848Public school is designed to make you hate learning and to prepare you for subjugation at work
>>538512848>FailingWhat do you mean, they are making life long democrats.
>>538512848Observe the following: imagine an investment rather than spending the money on education.

>/pol/ pretending to care about nyc kidsAlmost as hilarious as pretending to care about inner-city crime
>>538520863I’m a teacher. The biggest reason for the failure is that parents are maxed out trying to survive, and they can’t even keep up with what their kids are doing in school. To teach, you need parental involvement. If the kid’s family doesn’t care, the kid has zero reason to care. It’s not natural for a kid to put out maximum effort when there is no incentive; only a handful of people-pleaser types do that, or straight nerds. My students who have parental involvement universally excel, across all races. I teach in one of the most diverse places in the world, typically having students from over a dozen different countries (or their parents at least). You can ask me anything, but before you do, I’ll answer one thing that might shock you. The worst behaviors are autistic white males with older single mothers. Blacks are more likely to turn into thugs later in life, but in elementary school, they fall into line with a strong male teacher and embrace the hierarchy. The best behavior comes from whites with normal two-parent households, and first-gen Hispanic and Asian immigrants. The most violent are mixed race white/black.
>>538521001We care about money, you fucking retard. And union corruption. And taxes. And the implications to society. Please respond, I’m an average guy but posting next to you makes me feel omnipotent.
>>538521221>education fag blames white men who have to carry everyone else>the tests are political interrogations to make sure white men never say anything about circumcisionrope now before it's too late
>>538512848>studies show that the percentage of black / brown students is inversely proportional to a school's academic performance.Did niggers suddenly get retarded all has it always been that way?
>>538521335This post has nothing to do with anything and makes no sense.
>>538512848Bumping thread. Does anyone live in NYC? Could you start a petition to defund the schools? Get it on the ballot. A Jew judge would have to goal keep it from landing, but if they fumble it… it would pass.
>>538521682archivegenocideis basically what school was trying to indoctrinate people to support

>>538521221>but in elementary school, they fall into line with a strong male teacher and embrace the hierarchyah you mean the teachers who have been tirelessly rooted out of schools for fifty years, gotcha
>>538522832Actually… I was hired because that was exactly what I presented myself as. The admin love me and send me the boys that are most fucked up in the previous grade. The black boys don’t respect white women, because their mothers are extremely brutal to them, and white women in school are nothing by comparison. They like me because I can model all the manhood they want to develop. I teach them everything as a means of gaining power and respect. I play football with them at recess to. I love it, actually. I dunk on the entire school district with my rates of growth. The other kids like me because I keep my room quiet. They’ve never experienced a quiet classroom.
>>538521293>We care about money, you fucking retardYou niggers don't even have jobs kek
>>538521221shut the fuck up, nigger lover. the niggers are given everything, housing vouchers, free food, everything. they built a section 8 apartment right next to my mother's house in a nice all white area, niggers moved in and for the first time in 20 fucking years they break into her car. fuck you, faggotthe only way your stupid fucking comment could be true is if you taught at some high end international school that picks the top heads of countries in which case you should shut the fuck up
>>538523105you're completely delusional
>Failing studentsAdd it to the list.
>>538512873As someone who has been through this system, the high rate of failure is mostly due to ESL kids who have to play catch up (and most don't give a shit to learn English) and niggers that destroy everything.My school had metal detectors, airport bag scanners, multiple police officers stationed year round, and this all still failed to get the students under control and to stop bringing alcohol/weapons to school. No curriculum will ever fix genetics.My school would implement the most retarded blanket policies such as locking the bathrooms (because niggers keep destroying the toilets, soap dispenser, shoving the entire roll of toilet paper in the sink or toilet, fighting inside, gambling inside, smoking inside, fucking inside, etc) and separating the boys from girls during lunch because niggers kept brawling over the same girl.We would have a much bigger failure rate if the school didn't artificially inflate grades to pass students and get them out of the system. Expulsion was rarely used even if you literally fought everyday. The black administration and white liberal staff 100% cover up the niggery.
