*
Year in which at least one student scored a
100/100 on the NYS Regents Physics Exam.
* First year (2001-2002) in which the Regents Physics exam
format was changed, with a new grading scale
which caused thousands of students
statewide to fail this exam, as it required students to achieve 68%
of the exam correct to obtain a scaled
score of 65 out of 100. This accounts for the unusually low
performance on the exam, yet note that
for that school year the student passing rate for the course was
still a typical 97%.
* The NYSED continues to invoke a negative grading scale on
the NYS Regents Physics exam, causing countless
students across New York State to needlessly fail
an exam which tests the basics of elementary physics.
* The NYSED has now released new grading scales which
supercede those of the 2002 and 2003 Physics exams,
as of January, 2004. As a result, student
grades on the Physics Regents exam have now been raised by as
much as 16 points, contributing to unrealistically
high passing rates. Information about this, as well as the
actual new tables, can be found here;

Data here represents only Pascuzzi's
students (22 out of approximately 70 total). 2004-05 was the first year
GCHS hired
an
additional physics teacher.

* First year ever in which a student did not show up for *any* of his AP exams. Thanks a lot.
