Although New York City black and Hispanic students scored higher on standardized tests this year than they did in 2013, a new study found that almost 100 public schools failed to pass any minority student on the 2014 state math or reading exams.

According to an analysis conducted by the pro-charter school group Families for Excellent Schools, no black or Hispanic children passed the statewide standardized tests at 90 different schools with a diverse student body.

Because of the results of the tests, which are based on stringent Common Core standards, Families for Excellent Schools CEO Jeremiah Kittredge said the Department of Education needs to do more to help struggling students.

"It's time for bold and transformational change," Kittredge told the New York Daily News. "We need to acknowledge that this is not the fault of children - it's the fault of our system."

"At 31 city schools with a combined enrollment of 1,065 black students, none passed the state math exam. At another 28 schools, zero out of 613 Hispanic students passed the math test. State reading exams saw similar results," reports the Daily News.

Overall, the proficiency rate for city students on the math test is 34.2 percent. However, only 18.5 percent of black students and 23.2 percent of Hispanic students were proficient on state math exams in 2014. Likewise, scores for reading tests showed a similar gap.

The achievement gap in the city's public schools has been an ongoing problem that continues to get worse for the Department of Ed.

Although black and Hispanic students received better scores on the 2014 exams compared to 2013, white and Asian kids received even bigger increases.

Not only did the School for the Urban Environment in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn fail to pass a minority student, but it also struggled to pass any kids at all.

Education Department spokeswoman Devora Kaye said, "We are committed to ensuring that all students, regardless of ethnicity or background, receive a high-quality education."
