#NYCSolves

#NYCSolves is a city-wide initiative to give every student access to high-quality, evidence based math instruction. The goal is to help students use math in their everyday lives. Explore #MathWeek resources at:

For the first time, #NYCReads will expand in the 2025–26 school year to 102 middle schools across eight districts, impacting over 26,000 students. #NYCSolves will expand to 84 middle schools across six districts, bringing NYC Solves to an additional 32,000 students.

Through #NYCSolves, we’re helping students build strong mathematical and problem-solving skills. #NYCSolves is now in approximately 400 high schools and 100 middle schools, and it’s coming to 84 more middle schools in the 2025–26 school year.

I had the pleasure of visiting JHS 220 and PS217 in Brooklyn this morning.  At JHS 220 in Brooklyn, I met with passionate student leaders and school staff who help make up an incredible school community.

At PS217, I saw the impact of #NYCReads and #NYCSolves and of building caring relationships with families. When we center student learning and family partnerships, our young people thrive—academically and social-emotionally.

Check out District 10’s Math Battle of the Bronx!   Hundreds of middle school students participated this school year with one shared purpose: their love for math!

Students across @NYCSchools are getting access to high-quality, culturally responsive, and consistent math instruction through #NYCSolves and other district-level initiatives.

At NYC Public Schools, our mission goes beyond schooling—we’re providing transformative education. We’re building kids up and preparing them to take on the world as the next generation of future leaders.  I’m proud to share how we’re transforming the #StateOfOurSchools.

Transformation begins—first and foremost—with reading, writing, and arithmetic.  Reading and math fuel critical thinking. If we want our kids to learn about the world and think critically about it, we must teach them to read and calculate.

This year, we expanded #NYCReads to every elementary school (840+) and to every childhood classroom citywide so that students become confident readers.      We launched #NYCSolves in 400+ high schools and about 100 middle schools so that students become confident mathematicians.

#NYCSolves is expanding into select elementary schools for the first time. Among those schools are Bronx Districts 11 & 12, where students will use IM® Math! Proud to partner with @NYCSchools, helping even more students know, use, and enjoy mathematics.

This year, we saw tremendous growth on the New York State exams in both reading and math for grades 3-8! Overall proficiency is at its highest since 2012. Our efforts to transform literacy and math instruction through #NYCReads and #NYCSolves are showing results.

I’m proud to lead a school system that has invested deeply in the fundamentals, addressing long standing inequities in literacy and math outcomes. Today we are celebrating a major expansion of this vital work—bringing #NYCReads and #NYCSolves to middle schools across the city.

We’re expanding a MAJOR program in classrooms today! Watch live to LEARN more:

For the first time, this fall #NYCReads will expand to 102 middle schools across eight districts, impacting over 26,000 students. #NYCSolves will expand to middle schools in six different districts, bringing NYC Solves to 84 additional schools and serving over 32,000 students.

As Chancellor of @NYCSchools and a former high school teacher, principal, and district leader, I know firsthand the importance for preparing students for life beyond high school. Students deserve access to amazing instructional programming and resources through graduation.

Through our @FutureReadyNYC programs, students have earned over $10 million through paid internships. We’ve connected thousands of students with paid career-connected learning experiences, early college courses, college and career advising and financial literacy.

@FutureReadyNYC We must ensure students have the fundamental skills for success—literacy and numeracy—and that they’re prepared to thrive in the workforce. Thanks to @NYCMayor Adam's initiatives, such as #NYCReads, #NYCSolves, and Student Pathways programs, we’re making their dreams a reality.

Thank you @DOEChancellor and @NYCMayor for building on the success of #NYCReads and #NYCSolves by expanding these initiatives to more districts and more grade levels. Now the hard work of supporting implementation begins!

Our #NYCReads and #NYCSolves initiatives help ensure that every student—regardless of background—becomes a lifelong reader and confident mathematician. Watch how these foundational initiatives have helped students at P.S. 125 and I.S. 181 build strong reading and math skills.

Through #NYCSolves, we’re empowering every student to become a confident mathematician and skilled problem-solver. We’re proud to provide unprecedented levels of support to our educators and school leaders along the way. Learn more:

Exciting news! Our latest state test score data shows math and reading proficiency levels rising across @NYCSchools grades 3-8. When we set high expectations for our students and give our educators the right tools through #NYCReads and #NYCSolves, our kids rise to the occasion.

We’re proud to deliver the education our children deserve with evidence-based reading and math instruction through #NYCReads and #NYCSolves. We’ve seen reading scores increase by 2.5 points on average and math scores increase by 3.2 points for grades K–5.
