NEW YORK (AP) — New York City’s schools chancellor announced a new system for evaluating schools Wednesday that will replace A-through-F letter grades based largely on test scores with a more complex system that includes a variety of measures.

Chancellor Carmen Farina told educators and officials at a Brooklyn school auditorium that schools have unique qualities that cannot be captured in a letter grade.
