The opt-out movement may have skewed data for the Voorheesville Middle School English scores on the New York State assessments, according to Curriculum Director Karen Conroy. Scores for Voorheesville students in grades 6 and 7 were similar to those in the district’s suburban cohort, while scores for grade 8 students were significantly higher than those in the suburban cohort and across the state, with 41 percent of Voorheesville eighth-graders earning a Level 4.
