NYC has many problems with education, especially grading. Students, teachers, and administrators are constantly being evaluated. However, comptroller John Liu says that because metrics are changing so much, schools are being unfairly graded.

The grades can greatly impact which schools get financial aid and which ones close.
Liu’s study focused on 10 randomly selected high schools throughout the five boroughs from the 2006-07 school year to the 2009-10 year.
They found one example of a high school slated for closure in 2014 — Metropolitan Corporate Academy in Brooklyn — that would have shown improvement had the standards remained uniform each year.
