Figure 2. Performance on state-mandated exams in four subjects: Algebra, Living Environment, English, and Global Studies.

Figure 2

Regents Academy (RA) students surpassed the passing rate of the comparison group on all subjects; Algebra: χ2 (1, N = 64) 18.33, p<.001; Living Environment: χ 2 (1, N = 44) = 6.92, p = .017; English: χ 2 (1, N = 31) = 9.19, p = .004; Global Studies: χ 2 (1, N = 38) = 5.22, p = .030). There were no significant differences between the passing rates of RA students and the Binghamton High School (BHS) as a whole; Algebra: χ 2 (1, N = 347) = .195, p = .711; Living Environment: χ 2 (1, 370) = .673, p = .274; English: χ 2 (1, 363) = 1.90, p = .218; Global Studies: χ 2 (1, N = 434) = 1.19, p = .311. Students from the RA were more likely to attend the Global Studies exam than students from both the comparison group (χ 2 (1, 41) = 5.61, p = .043) and BHS (χ 2 (1, 565) = 8.226, p = .001). Attendance rates for the other exams did not differ.
