New Haven Unified School District, which includes schools in Union City and part of south Hayward, has shared test data showing student progress. More New Haven students are ranked as ‘advanced’ and fewer are ranked as ‘far below basic’ according to results of standardized tests taken during the 2010-11 school year.
According to STAR (Standardized Testing and Results) information released by the California Department of Education, 25.1 percent of New Haven students scored “advanced” in English/language arts, up from 22.3 percent in 2008-09. Over the same three-year period, the percentage of students scoring “far below basic” has decreased from 7.2 to 6.3 percent.
