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.
