Almost 200K students boycotted NY state standardized tests in parents’ rights revolt

Thousands of New York parents are staging a revolt against standardized tests.

Nearly 200,000 students — or one out of five — refused to sit for the state’s standardized reading and math exams for grades 3-8 administered in the spring, test data reviewed by The Post reveals.

Of the more than 1 million students eligible, 18% opted out of the English Language Arts exam and 17% skipped the math assessment, according to the figures from the state Education Department (SED).
