===Public participation in board meetings===
The New Rochelle Board of Education's policy on public participation in board meetings is under review. The board discussed adopting the following policy in a meeting held on August 5, 2014:
 
{{Quote|The Board of Education encourages members of the public not only to attend Board meetings, but also to express their views as to matters affecting the School District. A time for public comment will be provided on Regular Meeting agendas, but there may be times when, due to the press of other business before the Board, the Board may vote to suspend the public comment period for a particular meeting.
A School District resident who wishes to speak at a Regular Board of Education business meeting should contact the Clerk of the Board no later than 3:30 p.m. on the day of the meeting and indicate his/her intention to speak, with an identification of the topic which he/she wishes to address. These residents will be called upon during the first part of the scheduled public comment section on the agenda.  Speakers are limited to three minutes each, with remarks limited to the scope of the pre‑announced topic. 
Other residents attending regularly scheduled Board meetings who wish to address the Board will be invited to do so at the conclusion of the first part of the scheduled public comment section, and a show of hands will be requested to determine the number of persons interested in speaking. It will be the prerogative of the President of the Board of Education, based upon meeting time constraints and the number of persons wishing to speak, to set a time limit, not to exceed three minutes, for each speaker.
Each person who wishes to speak at a Board meeting shall be afforded no more than one opportunity to speak per Regular Meeting.
Each person speaking shall:
A. Give his/her name and address, and name of his/her organization if speaking in a representative capacity;
B. Address all remarks to the chairperson of the meeting;
C. Understand that issues related to specific personnel will not be discussed in public session;
D. Refrain from personal attacks on individuals, it being the intention of the public comment period to obtain views on issues of concern rather than the airing of inter-personal disputes;
E. Not call for expressions of sentiment or support from others present;
F. Be prepared to offer supporting evidence for any factual assertions made in his/her remarks if requested to do so by a member of the Board of Education;
G. Persons who believe that they have information bearing on possible improper conduct by any employee or officer of the School District are requested to bring such information, in writing, to the attention of the President of the Board of Education or the Superintendent of Schools.|author=New Rochelle School District website (2014)<ref name=participation>[https://web.archive.org/web/2/http://www.boarddocs.com/ny/nred/Board.nsf/files/9MPLRE543C04/$file/9340%20Public%20Participation%20in%20Meetings_REV_Track%20Changes.pdf ''New Rochelle School District,'' "Public Comment at Meetings," accessed August 6, 2014]</ref>}}

==Academic performance==
The [[New York State Education Department]] facilitates assessment of student performance throughout the state in English language arts and mathematics. These annual evaluations determine where students fit into the State Testing Program's standards for grades three through eight and high school. The following tables detail how the school district compared to state averages across grade cohorts in both categories, with percentages indicating students who reached Level 3 or higher on state tests.
 
The New York State Testing Program assesses student performance based on a four-point scale for each test category:<ref name=report/>
 
* '''Level 1: Below Standard:''' Student performance does not demonstrate an understanding of the academic discipline for a particular grade level.
* '''Level 2: Meets Basic Standard:''' Student performance demonstrates a partial understanding of the academic discipline for a particular grade level.
* '''Level 3: Meets Proficiency Standard:''' Student performance demonstrates an understanding of the academic discipline for a particular grade level.
* '''Level 4: Exceeds Proficiency Standard:''' Student performance demonstrates a thorough understanding of the academic discipline for a particular grade level.

==Issues==
===Board meeting policies===
Robert Cox, a blogger on ''Talk of the Sound'', published an opinion piece criticizing the New Rochelle Board of Education for proposed changes to its policy on public participation in school board meetings.<ref name=participation/> He listed several of the potential changes:
 
*The "Public Engagement" session is now known as the "Public Comment" session
*Pre-registered speakers may speak for no more than three minutes, which is less than the five minutes formerly granted
*Speakers must provide the board with a summary of their topic in advance, and speakers may not deviate from that topic
*Speakers may not criticize specific personnel
*The public must provide complaints regarding improper conduct by district employees in writing to either the superintendent or the board president
*The public may only participate in a maximum of one meeting per month
*The board can suspend public comment during any meeting
*The board may interrupt speakers
*The board may request "supporting evidence" for factual assertions made by speakers
*Board members are no longer required to answer questions from the public during or after meetings
 
Cox stated that the board under President Lianne Merchant was "where free speech goes to die." He argued that the board is attempting to reduce public involvement in meetings as a way of silencing the anger of parents over "an unfolding story of corruption and incompetence" in the district. Board members at the August 5, 2014, board meeting stated that the intention behind the change was to reduce the length of board meetings. After the proposed policy was first read at the meeting, only two members of the public commented on it.<ref name=policy/><ref>[http://www.newrochelletalk.com/content/new-rochelle-board-education-declares-war-free-speech-bans-criticism-board-members-grants-ri ''Talk of the Sound,'' "New Rochelle Board of Education Declares War on Free Speech - Bans Criticism of Board Members, Grants "Right to Interrupt" to Board Members," August 6, 2014]</ref>

Academic performance

Each year, state and local education agencies use tests and other standards to assess student proficiency. Although the data below was published by the U.S. Department of Education, proficiency measurements are established by the states. As a result, proficiency levels are not comparable between different states and year-over-year proficiency levels within a district may not be comparable because states may change their proficiency measurements. To protect student privacy, percentages are reported as ranges for groups of 300 students or fewer. If five or fewer students were included in a data set, the data will display as "PS."[2]

The following table shows the percentage of district students who scored at or above the proficiency level each school year:

School year All (%) Asian/Pacific Islander (%) Black (%) Hispanic (%) Native American (%) Two or More Races (%) White (%)
2021-2022 50 60-64 42 42 PS 50-59 66
2020-2021 63 70-74 57 57 PS 70-79 73
2018-2019 60 70-74 52 53 PS 60-69 77
2017-2018 59 65-69 47 52 PS 60-79 77
2016-2017 58 65-69 45 51 PS 60-79 77
2015-2016 57 70-74 48 49 PS 60-79 75
