Earlier this afternoon, DOE released progress report grades for the city's high schools.

Here's the link to the new set of grades. Unfortunately, the new set doesn't show you what the schools scored last year -- to compare grades directly, go to the DOE home page, click on Search for a School, add the school name, and then use the left toolbar to get to Statistics, where both years' Progress Reports are archived (along with plenty of other material). It's cumbersome and a little tedious, but it's the best way to see a school's growth (or regression) from year to year.

Watch the blog first thing tomorrow for more on the high school grades.
