Comparison of NY with National Exams

From http://documents.nytimes.com/state-and-federal-mathematics-tests#p=7
"Results of federal math tests released Wednesday showed little or no progress by the country's fourth and eighth graders since 2007, the last time the tests were given. New York State's students fared much worse than they did on the state's own standardized tests: while 87 percent of the state's fourth graders and 80 percent of eighth graders were considered proficient on state tests, only 40 percent of fourth graders and 34 percent of eighth graders met that standard on federal tests."
