Some general statistics on the 2016 Physics Regents exam: 

 

Freedman statistics:

92.2% of Freedman students passed the exam.

41% of Freedman students earned a mastery score of 85% or above (53.3% of honors students and 23.8% of regents students)

Overall thoughts. It looks like scores are pretty consistent across the district and consistent with last year, although perhaps about a couple of % lower than last year. This isn't a surprise, since (a) the multiple choice section seemed just a little bit harder than in past years, and (b) the curve this year was 1-2% lower than last year. The free response section seemed quite reasonable. 

 

I expect to learn more about the scores across other districts in the Hudson Valley once fall arrives. However, based on past years' results, I expect that WCSD scores will be among the highest in the region. We have great students!
