New York State School Report Cards
The New York State Education Department releases School Report Cards on every public school and district in the state. Based on some key assessments taken by students in New York public schools, the report cards provide achievement data on districts and schools, as compared to their past years' performances and to other similar schools. Report cards are released each spring for the previous school year. Cohoes' most current NYS Report Card, released in April 2011, covers the 2009-10 school year. Click here to view the report card.
