    • Abstract:
      Reports that New York City public school students performed at about the national average on a new mathematics achievement test given for the first time this year, casting doubt on school officials' claims of sharp improvement in student performance. Experts said the new findings suggest that the rising scores of recent years have resulted from students' increasing familiarity with a test given year after year.
