Cuba’s public schools outscore 74% of New York districts

Reading proficiency in Cuba’s districts is 58%, above the New York average (49%). The grade covers the public school district serving Cuba, 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.
