Fewer New York freshmen are staying home for college. Here's where they go

For every 100 New York freshmen, about 83 stayed in the state for college in 2000. By 2024, that number had fallen to 77. As a new academic year begins, the Times Union analyzed U.S. Department of Education data to see where New York freshmen go to college and where freshmen from other states come to New York. The latest data is from fall 2024. The analysis includes only degree-granting two- and four-year colleges, excluding training centers, short-term vocational schools and other non-degree institutions.

New York turned off the scoreboard because the charter school was winning

I’ve spent 30 years telling institutional clients the truth about their returns, good quarters and bad ones, because a manager who hides the losses eventually gets caught hiding the gains too. Performance reporting in my business runs on one rule. You publish what happened. Audited, comparable, embarrassing when it needs to be.

NYC finally moves students out of contaminated basement classroom after ‘too busy’ principal shirked off concerns

New York education officials will remove Pre-K and kindergarten students from a contaminated basement at a Brooklyn elementary school near the Gowanus Canal — after mounting pressure from outraged parents and The Post’s reporting on the issue. The students, who take classes in the basement of PS 372’s annex, will be relocated to other floors and to the school’s main building while state officials install additional ventilation systems to try to filter out toxic air, according to a Friday letter from District 75 Superintendent Dr. Keisha McCoy. McCoy wrote that the students will be “temporarily” relocated so state officials can install additional ventilation systems to try to filter the toxic air out of the building. Dr. Keisha McCoy sent out the letter to families on Friday. District 75 NYC A map shows the location of PS 372 and its proximity to the Gowanus Canal.

Giants name Hoboken's Joe Borkowski Coach of the Week

East Rutherford, NJ – The New York Giants and Gatorade have selected Mr. Joe Borkowski of the Hoboken High School Redwings (Hoboken, N.J.) as the Lou Rettino High School Coach of the Week for Week 1 of the 2026 season.

The team has improved dramatically with 3 wins in 2024 and a 9-0 regular season in 2025 that ended with a 31-28 playoff loss at Rutherford with a last-second field goal.

Low participation leads to NY high school football team canceling season opener

A New York high school football program will not be suiting up for its season opener. After pulling out of a scrimmage, Hastings decided to cancel their season-opener against Dobbs Ferry. The news was first reported by The Journal News, part of the USA TODAY Network . The program was down to 18 eligible players, which is two above the minimum required to participate in a contest. A USA TODAY analysis suggests that participation numbers in the Empire State are on the decline , as statewide participation has dropped just under 33% since 2008 — from 38,354 to 25,874 in 2024. That comes despite New York gaining roughly 400,000 in population during that same time. “We don’t even have a youth program anymore,” Hastings athletic director Drew Wendol told Lohud. “We’ve been practicing but had four players injured before the scrimmage. We’re hoping that they will be cleared and ready to go, and we may have a couple of new kids registering.” The program went 3-6 a season ago and is 9-32 since 2021. Despite the downfall in numbers, enrollment has shot up, moving the program up to Class B in New York Section 1. With 11 seniors on the
