Yes, absolutely. I don't bother looking at anything but the high school data....even districts like Hempstead and Roosevelt are up around 80% passing at the elementary level.
Bad job by the NYT....although if HS figures were considered, it would've made NYC public schools look a lot worse off. Anytime you hear any New York politicians talk about what an improvement the city's schools have made, you can rest assured they are talking about 3rd-5th graders inching up a few percentage points each year.
Fortunately, there is a mountain of legit information elsewhere on the internet...
