Simon Policy Fellow  \n50CAN  \nRay Domanico  \nSenior Fellow  \nManhattan Institute  \nExecutive Summary  \nThis report presents analyses of the state of education in New York City ahead of the approaching mayoral primaries and election. It focuses on the role that the mayor can and should play in bringing the city’s school system to much greater levels of success than it is currently achieving. The underlying theme of this report is that the current depressed state of achievement in the school system is the result of poor decisions made during the de Blasio administration and the slow and timid attempts at reform from the Adams administration. We reject the notion that our schools have declined solely because of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic or that the current direction of the federal government will make improvements in our schools. This report points to the successful policies of the Bloomberg administration as evidence that real improvement is possible with an unrelenting focus on school accountability, the expansion of educational opportunity through a dynamic system of new school creation, and the closure or merger of underperforming and under-enrolled schools.  \nAfter a brief introduction, the report will discuss nine critical areas for the city’s schools. It will end with 18 specific recommendations to strengthen the Department of Education’s programs and schools, expand educational choice and innovation, and mount a necessary legislative effort in Albany to facilitate true reform and develop a family and community focus to make New York City and its schools attractive to families once again.  \n An Education Agenda for New York City’s Next Mayor  \nIntroduction  \nFor the last 12 years, New York City’s schools have been on the wrong path, thanks to legislative and executive actions in city hall and in the state capital. Whoever is mayor in January 2026 must appoint strong leaders at the Department of Education (DOE) with a clear mandate: ensure that new spending mandated by the state legislature and city council is paired with guardrails of accountability and family choice. Without those guardrails, additional funding will be squandered with little impact on student performance. For guidance, the mayor’s education team can learn from the successes of the city’s own charter-school sector as well as initiatives outside the city, which combine proven pedagogic practices in reading and math with content-rich curricula, not limited to skills alone.  \nNYC can also learn from its own history of successful school reform, particularly the period of 2002–14, when student performance improved measurably and many communities gained access to educational opportunities that had been absent for decades. The 2002–14 reform effort emphasized accountability for school performance, support for innovation in both the district school and charter sectors, and expanded choice of schools for all communities in NYC.  \nUnfortunately, the success of that reform was deliberately undone during Mayor Bill de Blasio’s administration. Beginning in 2014, de Blasio weakened school accountability and blocked the creation of new innovative schools, thereby limiting any expansion of school choice for the city’s families. City hall also chose redistribution rather than growth in allocating available seats in the city’s academically selective middle schools and high schools. In the last four years, the Adams administration also inexplicably devolved control to unelected community superintendents, while simultaneously attempting to impose centrally planned curriculum and programs.  \nThroughout both the reform and its undoing, the s","cbCaimiphyCmklFG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimiphyCmklFG","pdf",477003,24,"English","# Executive Summary\n# Introduction\n# Low Student Performance\n# Recommendations","[{\"question\":\"What does the report argue is driving NYC’s low student achievement?\",\"answer\":\"The report attributes depressed achievement to poor decisions during the de Blasio administration and timid attempts at reform during the Adams administration, rather than blaming Covid-19 alone.\"},{\"question\":\"What historical period does the report cite as a successful school reform effort?\",\"answer\":\"It points to 2002–14, when student performance improved and communities gained broader access to educational opportunities, supported by accountability, innovation, and expanded school choice.\"},{\"question\":\"What recommendations does the report propose for the next mayor?\",\"answer\":\"It calls for strengthening the Department of Education’s programs and schools, expanding educational choice and innovation, and pursuing legislative action in Albany to enable true reform.\"}]","An Education Agenda for New York City’s Next Mayor - June 2025 | PDF",1792053650]
