Chabad Academy of Science & the Humanities
When parents ask, “How does the level of secular education at C.A.S.H. compare to the top local public schools?” What is the answer? What are the facts? Based on the 2005 New York State Grade 4 achievement exams, you can now tell all your friends – THERE’S NO COMPARISON!
Congratulations to our C.A.S.H. Grade 4 Students for outscoring the public schools in Nassau County on the 2005-2006 NY State Education achievement exams. With the assistance of Mrs. Greenblatt’s outstanding preparation, the student’s hard work and your support, our results demonstrate the level of education that you have come to expect from our outstanding academic program.

In 2004 the Board of Regents appointed a Math Standards Committee, consisting of Math teachers and other experts statewide, to revise the math learning standards. Their recommendations, adopted by the Regents in 2005 after extensive positive public comment, called for introducing more advanced math content into the lower grades in elementary and middle school. The 2006 Grade 4 Math tests were more difficult that tests in previous years.
Statewide Math scores in grade 4 dropped by about 7 percentage points. Thus, the results at C.A.S.H. are even that much more impressive.
Be proud that your child attends one of the top academic institutions in the State!
If you have any questions about the above information, please do not hesitate to give me a call.
We look forward to continued results from our students as we continue to uphold the reputation for being one of the strongest academic programs on the North Shore.
Looking forward to sharing more good news with you in the future,
