Default New School And Board Scores


SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads)
I heard NBEO Part I scores were just released. This would be the first class from all new schools that took the exam. I'm curious to find out how the new OD schools (Western, UIW, and Midwestern) did.

Any reports?

The overall pass rate this year was 81%, and it looks like the national pass rate for last year's March exam was 78% (according to NBEO's score report).

I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for any numbers from the new programs. Most schools are very secretive of their pass rates unless they're good. For that reason, you'll most likely hear nothing of their performance.

It I was a prospective student, I would press these schools to release their board scores.
