Lynbrook HS named a state reward school

Lynbrook High School was one of 67 Long Island schools and 250 schools statewide to be classified as a Reward School by the New York State Education Department. These schools were commended by the state for their academic achievement based on data derived from student test scores in the 2009-10 and 2010-11 school years.

Reward Schools are classified by the state as schools that have made the most progress or have the highest achievement in the state, and do not have significant gaps in student achievement that are not being closed.

After consultation with representatives of the Reward Schools, NYSED staff will present to the Board of Regents options for consideration by which Reward Schools may seek expanded and/or expedited variances from certain provisions of the Commissioner’s Regulations beginning in the 2013-14 school year.
