Eva: Tests show city ‘dead end’

THE MINOR gains city students made on state reading and math tests aren’t good enough, the founder of a charter school network said Thursday.

Eva Moskowitz, founder and CEO of the Success Academy charter schools, blasted Mayor de Blasio at a press conference in her Wall St. headquarters for the incremental improvements.

Moskowitz’s 36 charter schools in the grades tested — third through eighth — outperformed district schools by a wide margin.

“You’re consigning a massive number of children to a dead-end future,” Moskowitz said of de Blasio.Nearly 38% of city students met state math standards in district schools citywide. That’s up from just over 36% in 2016.

Almost 41% of city public school kids passed reading tests in 2017, up from 38% in 2016.

But Moskowitz’s privately run, publicly funded charter schools did much better.

A remarkable 95% of all Success Academy students passed the math tests and 84% met reading standards.

Critics say her schools push out tough kids and enroll fewer difficult students.
