Coventry’s public schools score below 72% of New York districts on tests and graduation

35% of students in Coventry’s public schools are proficient in reading, below the New York average (49%). The grade covers the three public school districts serving Coventry, from kindergarten through graduation, on state tests and graduation. Each state writes its own tests, so this is the one TownRatings grade compared within New York, not nationally.
