Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in New York State’s Grades 3–8 ELA & Math assessments (2023–24 school year). We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score.
