New York adopted its Next Generation ELA Standards in 2017, replacing earlier frameworks, and ties 11th grade assessment directly to the Regents ELA exam required for a diploma.
How New York Language Arts Progresses
Courses move from foundational reading and writing in the early grades through literary analysis and argument in middle school, then into Regents preparation and electives in high school.
How New York Assesses Language Arts
New York tests ELA in 3rd through 8th grade via state assessments, then requires the Regents ELA exam in 11th grade, which is a graduation requirement alongside college readiness preparation.
