Keep Chalkbeat’s valuable education coverage at the top of your feeds by clicking here and checking the box next to our name. The share of Newark students meeting state English language arts standards dropped last school year, while the share meeting math standards rose, newly released test results show. Across the city’s traditional public and charter schools, 35.7% of students met grade-level expectations in English language arts, down from 41.7% last year, according to a Chalkbeat analysis. In math, proficiency rose to 30.1%, up from 27% in 2025. The results, which the state released earlier this month, offer a mixed picture of academic performance in Newark, where schools have spent years working to help students recover from pandemic learning disruptions . The scores could lead to closer scrutiny of tutoring and literacy initiatives that have tried to assist in that recovery. Newark Public Schools officials presented preliminary results at an October school board meeting , acknowledging that most district students continued to fall short of grade-level expectations. The state’s more-detailed release also shows substantial differences in proficiency between Newark Public Schools, the state’s largest school district,

Inside political circles, AOC’s aloof style becomes a factor

LEFT GUARD: The battle to own the progressive lane in the 2028 Democratic presidential primary is already brewing, with allies of Bronx Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and California Rep. Ro Khanna launching recruitment efforts seeking to nudge them both into the race. The rival efforts are laying bare the aloof, tight-lipped way AOC’s political team operates behind the scenes as she continues to weigh whether to run for president or Senate. And the recruitment bids are also showing the central role of New York in the early days of the 2028 race. Last week, former NYC-DSA-endorsed Rep. Jamaal Bowman and Democratic strategist Nomiki Konst, two longtime operatives in New York politics, launched “Run Ro,” a new outside group aiming to push Khanna to run for president. And on Monday, progressives including Ravi Sahai, a former 2025 campaign staffer for Mayor Zohran Mamdani, launched “Ready for AOC.” New York City Democratic Socialists of America co-chairs Gustavo Gordillo and Grace Mausser are also behind the pro-AOC effort, two people familiar with the matter said. The move from Bowman and Konst to get behind Khanna — instead of their fellow New Yorker — has bewildered some in the state’s left-leaning political ecosystem. “It’s weird,”
