The city unveiled an ad touting the progress made in city schools Wednesday.The $1 million ad campaign is being launched by the not-for-profit group “Fund For Public Schools.”
The ad focuses on students’ higher standardized math and reading test scores as well as a higher graduation rate.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg appears in the ad and gives credit to the parents, teachers and students for the higher marks.
The mayor has been on a crusade to show off improvement in education. Earlier this week, he touted the school satisfaction rate among parents.
Scores climbed 9 points in math this year alone, with about 74 percent of students in third grade through eighth grade showing proficiency.
The Fund For Public Schools is the largest provider of private money to the public school system. Schools Chancellor Joel Klein is the group's chairman.
