New York State Alternate Assessment (NYSAA) is part of the New York State testing program that measures the attainment of the State's learning standards in the areas of English language arts (ELA), mathematics, and science for all students with the most severe disabilities in Grades 3-8 and high school. In the 2015-16 school year, NYSAA began using computer-based testing for the ELA and mathematics components. Beginning with the 2017-18 school year, the NYSAA program will no longer include a Social Studies component. The NYSAA in ELA, mathematics, and science will be assessed using Dynamic Learning Maps alternate assessment.

Regents Examinations are achievement tests that are aligned with New York State's Learning Standards. Prepared by teacher examination committees and Department subject and testing specialists, Regents Examinations provide schools with a basis for evaluating the quality of instruction and learning that have taken place. They are used by school personnel to identify major learning goals, offering both teachers and students a guide to important understandings, skills, and concepts. The examinations also provide students, parents, counselors, administrators, college admissions officers, and employers with objective and easily understood achievement information for use in making sound educational and vocational decisions. Passing scores on the Regents Examinations in English, mathematics, science, and social studies satisfy the State testing requirements for a high school diploma.

Regents Competency Test:

(State average from 651 schools)
Regents Competency Tests (RCTs) are achievement tests designed to assess basic proficiency in the areas of reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social studies.In the past, schools could award local high school diplomas to students who passed all six RCTs as well as the required coursework.The Department, in accordance with a timetable that was adopted by the Board of Regents, has phased out the eligibility of general education students in public schools to take these tests.Students are instead required to pass the Regents Examinations in order to receive a high school diploma.However, the RCTs continue to be available for students with disabilities who first enter grade 9 prior to the 2010-11 school year as part of a safety net for such students.To earn a high school diploma, students with disabilities must take each Regents Examination ordinarily required for graduation at least once.If unsuccessful on one or more of the required Regents Examinations, eligible students with disabilities may be granted a local high school diploma on the basis of passing the corresponding RCT(s).

A chronically absent student is a student who is absent 15 or more school days during the school year. A student is absent if he or she is not physically on school grounds and is not participating in instruction or instruction - related activities at an approved off-grounds location for at least half the school day. Each day that a student is absent for 50 percent or more of the school day should be counted. Any day that a student is absent for less than 50 percent of the school day should not be counted. The number of absences is based on the total number of school days absent. Chronically absent students include students who are absent for any reason(e.g., illness, suspension, the need to care for a family member), regardless of whether absences are excused or unexcused.
