Long Island school ratings from state

Here are state Department of Education ratings for Long Island schools. Those not "in good standing" need academic "improvement," which entails tutoring students and devising a plan to meet state standards. If that fails, they move to "corrective action" status, and ultimately to "restructuing" status, which can require a change in school leadership and a transfering of teachers.

In the "Subject" column, a "basic" designation indicates that one student group -- most commonly students in special education -- failed to meet academic targets. A "focused" designation indicates that more than one student group fell short. A "comprehensive" designation indicates that all student groups fell short.

Under the heading "Additional information," you can see whether a school is newly added to the list, continues on the list or has been removed recently.
