Audit Finds Fixes Needed in NYC High School Matching Process
New York City Public Schools (NYCPS) needs to do more to ensure students are matched to high schools in line with existing regulations, according to an audit released by Comptroller DiNapoli. The audit found that NYCPS did not always follow required placement policies, which set how certain groups of students should be prioritized.
“Thousands of New York City students rely on a fair and transparent system to get into the high school programs that fit their needs and to give them the best opportunity for a bright future,” said DiNapoli. “My office’s audit found that the city’s process is overlooking some students who face economic hardship. The system needs to be more consistent and transparent to ensure every student is matched according to the placement rules.”
