New York state officials have blocked the release of Advanced Placement test scores to U.S. News & World Report, undermining the credibility of the publication’s annual high school rankings. Without this key data, the rankings rely on incomplete or skewed metrics, raising concerns about fairness and transparency in evaluating school performance. Critics argue the move distorts the true academic standing of institutions, leaving parents and students with misleading comparisons. The controversy highlights ongoing tensions between state education policies and national accountability measures.
Albany educrats are shielding AP test results from US News & World Report number-crunchers — and their resulting New York high-school rankings are plain ridiculous.
