Regents Exam Tutoring Program & Results

In March 2022 we held mock benchmark exams to see how students would probably perform at the official state exam in June. The results were disturbing with a small percentage of our students at the passing level. 

We initiated the Regents Exam Tutoring Program. A team of more than 20 professional tutors met with small groups of students four days a week after school and in longer sessions on Saturdays to help prepare them for the state standardized tests. 

As the program took shape, attendance grew and in June we got back our students’ Regents scores. Over two-thirds of the student body passed math and 60% got a passing score in science. From almost none of our class ready to pass their Regents to the majority passing, it was a proud day for the school and proof positive that committed, creative, strategic action can make a huge difference.
