ALBANY - Students showed gains in math and English statewide while New York City schools posted bigger one-year improvements, according to results of standardized tests released Monday.

The results also show large segments of students continue to perform under the state standards created a decade ago to boost academic achievement.

The latest report shows that 81 percent of students in grades 3 through 8 met or exceeded the standard in math. That compared to 73 percent last year.

And 69 percent of students met or exceeded the English standard in those grades, up from 63 percent last year.

Statewide, fewer students showed serious academic problems. Black and Hispanic students also continued to narrow an achievement gap with white students predominantly in suburban districts. Students with disabilities also continue to show gains, although at a low level.

Statewide, 53 percent of black students met or exceeded the state standard in English, up from 45 percent last year. Hispanic students showed almost the same gain. Sixty-six percent of black students met or exceeded the math standard, up from 55 percent a year ago.

The results of the tests, which were created to monitor how well schools are performing and to identify where students need help, are available on the state Education Department Web site (http://www.nysed.gov).
