New York State Standardized tests will be given in April and May. Central Park East II, along with other public schools is required to administer the New York State tests to all students. However, many CPEII parents choose to exercise their parental right (as confirmed by ESSA and acknowledged by city and state officials) to refuse the tests for their students.
