New School in the Heights Students Excel on Stanford Achievement Tests--AGAIN!
 New Middle School students take the Stanford Achievement Test (SAT) every other year to make sure they are learning the material they will need in mainstream schools once they transition from NSH. We also do this to reassure those people who worry that if we spend time carefully fostering children's social-emotional needs, they won't succeed academically. (We think it's just the opposite.)
The results are in!
New Middle School students scored significantly above grade level on two thirds of all subtests. This includes a number of students who were falling behind in their school work at the time they entered our school.
Congratulations to the teachers and students of NSH! Keep up the good work! |
