The New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) is pleased to present these annual reports of School Performance. These reports are designed to inform parents, educators and communities about how well a school is performing and preparing its students for college and careers.

In particular, the School Performance Reports seek to:

 Focus attention on metrics that are indicative of college and career readiness.  Benchmark a school's performance against other peer schools that are educating similar students, against statewide outcomes, and against state targets to illuminate and build upon a school's strengths and identify areas for improvement.  Improve educational outcomes for students by providing both longitudinal and growth data so that progress can be measured as part of an individual school's efforts to engage in continuous improvement.

While the New Jersey School Performance Reports seek to bring more information to educators and stakeholders about the performance of schools, they do not seek to distill the performance of schools into a single metric, a single score, or a simplified conclusion. Instead, the intention is that educators and stakeholders will engage in deep, lengthy conversations about the full range of the data presented As educators know well, measuring school performance is both an art and a science. While the School Performance Report brings attention to important student outcomes, NJDOE does not collect data about other essential elements of a school, such as the provision of opportunities to participate and excel in extracurricular activities; the development of non-cognitive skills like time management and perseverance; the pervasiveness of a positive school culture or climate; or the attainment of other employability and technical skills, as many of these data are beyond both the capacity and resources of schools to measure and collect well.

PARCC Performance Level

The PARCC assesses how well students have learned grade-level material in English Language Arts/Literacy (ELA/L) and Math. The tests include questions that measure students’ fundamental skills and knowledge, and require them to think critically, solve problems and support or explain their answers.

The PARCC reports students’ overall scale scores that range from 650 to 850. To determine whether students have met academic expectations for their grade level/course in ELA/L and Math, students’ overall scale scores are categorized into five Performance Levels. Students performing at levels 4 and 5 (met or exceeded expectations) have demonstrated readiness for the next grade level/course, and are on track for college and careers.

Taken together with an understanding of the overall and average achievement levels in the school, the IQR furthers an understanding of the range of student outcomes that exist in a school. A school gap smaller than the state gap indicates that the school’s range of student outcomes is narrower than the state’s while a school gap broader than the state gap indicates that the school’s range of student outcomes is larger than the state’s.

The New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) is pleased to present these annual reports of School Performance. These reports are designed to inform parents, educators and communities about how well a school is performing and preparing its students for college and careers.

In particular, the School Performance Reports seek to:

 Focus attention on metrics that are indicative of college and career readiness.  Benchmark a school's performance against other peer schools that are educating similar students, against statewide outcomes, and against state targets to illuminate and build upon a school's strengths and identify areas for improvement.  Improve educational outcomes for students by providing both longitudinal and growth data so that progress can be measured as part of an individual school's efforts to engage in continuous improvement.

While the New Jersey School Performance Reports seek to bring more information to educators and stakeholders about the performance of schools, they do not seek to distill the performance of schools into a single metric, a single score, or a simplified conclusion. Instead, the intention is that educators and stakeholders will engage in deep, lengthy conversations about the full range of the data presented As educators know well, measuring school performance is both an art and a science. While the School Performance Report brings attention to important student outcomes, NJDOE does not collect data about other essential elements of a school, such as the provision of opportunities to participate and excel in extracurricular activities; the development of non-cognitive skills like time management and perseverance; the pervasiveness of a positive school culture or climate; or the attainment of other employability and technical skills, as many of these data are beyond both the capacity and resources of schools to measure and collect well.

PARCC Performance Level

The PARCC assesses how well students have learned grade-level material in English Language Arts/Literacy (ELA/L) and Math. The tests include questions that measure students’ fundamental skills and knowledge, and require them to think critically, solve problems and support or explain their answers.

The PARCC reports students’ overall scale scores that range from 650 to 850. To determine whether students have met academic expectations for their grade level/course in ELA/L and Math, students’ overall scale scores are categorized into five Performance Levels. Students performing at levels 4 and 5 (met or exceeded expectations) have demonstrated readiness for the next grade level/course, and are on track for college and careers.

2015 National Assessment Educational Progress (NAEP)

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is the largest national assessment of what our nation’s students know and can do. NAEP assesses fourth-, eighth-, and twelfth-grade students in subjects such as reading, mathematics, science, and writing. The reporting of NAEP scores on state report cards is a federal mandate. The results of NAEP are also published as the Nation’s Report Card, and are available for the nation, states, and, in some cases, urban districts. The NAEP scores on the report card include grades four and eight 2015 reading and math scores for New Jersey which are the last scores published.

Students in both elementary and middle schools begin to demonstrate college readiness behaviors long before they even enter high school. Among the behaviors that research has shown to be indicative of successfully graduating high school is regularly attending school. For all elementary and middle schools, this includes the percentage of students that are chronically absent each year, defined as missing more than 10% of possible school days. Also presented is the percentage of students participating in Visual and Performing Arts coursework and Algebra I course outcomes.

SGP creates a measure 5.00 of how students progressed in grades 4 through 8 in Language Arts Literacy and in grades 4 through 7 in Math when compared to other students with a similar test score history. A short video explaining the methodology can be found here: http://www.state.nj.us/education/njsmart/performance/ The below chart consist of five columns with measures. The first column - Schoolwide Performance - presents the schoolwide median growth score in either English Language Arts/Literacy or Mathematics for all students in the school. The second column - Peer Percentile - indicates how the school’s growth performance compares to its group of peer schools. The third column - Statewide Percentile - indicates how a school compares to schools across the state. The last column - Met Target? - indicates whether the school’s performance met or exceeded the statewide target, which was set to 35. The fourth row presents the averages of the peer school percentiles, the averages of statewide percentiles, the percentage of statewide targets met.

Taken together with an understanding of the overall and average achievement levels in the school, the IQR furthers an understanding of the range of student outcomes that exist in a school. A school gap smaller than the state gap indicates that the school’s range of student outcomes is narrower than the state’s while a school gap larger than the state gap indicates that the school’s range of student outcomes is broader than the state’s.

The New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) is pleased to present these annual reports of School Performance. These reports are designed to inform parents, educators and communities about how well a school is performing and preparing its students for college and careers.

In particular, the School Performance Reports seek to:

 Focus attention on metrics that are indicative of college and career readiness.  Benchmark a school's performance against other peer schools that are educating similar students, against statewide outcomes, and against state targets to illuminate and build upon a school's strengths and identify areas for improvement.  Improve educational outcomes for students by providing both longitudinal and growth data so that progress can be measured as part of an individual school's efforts to engage in continuous improvement.

While the New Jersey School Performance Reports seek to bring more information to educators and stakeholders about the performance of schools, they do not seek to distill the performance of schools into a single metric, a single score, or a simplified conclusion. Instead, the intention is that educators and stakeholders will engage in deep, lengthy conversations about the full range of the data presented As educators know well, measuring school performance is both an art and a science. While the School Performance Report brings attention to important student outcomes, NJDOE does not collect data about other essential elements of a school, such as the provision of opportunities to participate and excel in extracurricular activities; the development of non-cognitive skills like time management and perseverance; the pervasiveness of a positive school culture or climate; or the attainment of other employability and technical skills, as many of these data are beyond both the capacity and resources of schools to measure and collect well.

PARCC Performance Level

The PARCC assesses how well students have learned grade-level material in English Language Arts/Literacy (ELA/L) and Math. The tests include questions that measure students’ fundamental skills and knowledge, and require them to think critically, solve problems and support or explain their answers.

The PARCC reports students’ overall scale scores that range from 650 to 850. To determine whether students have met academic expectations for their grade level/course in ELA/L and Math, students’ overall scale scores are categorized into five Performance Levels. Students performing at levels 4 and 5 (met or exceeded expectations) have demonstrated readiness for the next grade level/course, and are on track for college and careers.

2015 National Assessment Educational Progress (NAEP)

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is the largest national assessment of what our nation’s students know and can do. NAEP assesses fourth-, eighth-, and twelfth-grade students in subjects such as reading, mathematics, science, and writing. The reporting of NAEP scores on state report cards is a federal mandate. The results of NAEP are also published as the Nation’s Report Card, and are available for the nation, states, and, in some cases, urban districts. The NAEP scores on the report card include grades four and eight 2015 reading and math scores for New Jersey which are the last scores published.

BRYAN BERGEN 51 BROOKSIDE AVE GRADE SPAN PK-05 CRESSKILL BORO CRESSKILL, NJ 07626 This section of the performance report presents data about student growth, utilizing the Student Growth Percentile Methodology (SGP). SGP creates a 5.00 measure of how students progressed in grades 4 through 8 in Language Arts Literacy and in grades 4 through 7 in Math when compared to other students with a similar test score history. A short video explaining the methodology can be found here: http://www.state.nj.us/education/njsmart/performance/ The below chart consist of five columns with measures. The first column - Schoolwide Performance - presents the schoolwide median growth score in either English Language Arts/Literacy or Mathematics for all students in the school. The second column - Peer Percentile - indicates how the school’s growth performance compares to its group of peer schools. The third column - Statewide Percentile - indicates how a school compares to schools across the state. The last column - Met Target? - indicates whether the school’s performance met or exceeded the statewide target, which was set to 35. The fourth row presents the averages of the peer school percentiles, the averages of statewide percentiles, the percentage of statewide targets met.

BRYAN BERGEN 51 BROOKSIDE AVE GRADE SPAN PK-05 CRESSKILL BORO CRESSKILL, NJ 07626 This section of the performance report presents data about the achievement gap that exists within a school - as measured by the difference between the students’ scale scores at the 25th and 75th percentile in the school, the Interquartile Range (IQR). Taken together with an understanding of the overall and average achievement levels in the school, the IQR furthers an understanding of the range of student outcomes that exist in a school. A school gap smaller than the state gap indicates that the school’s range of student outcomes is narrower than the state’s while a school gap larger than the state gap indicates that the school’s range of student outcomes is broader than the state’s.

The New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) is pleased to present these annual reports of School Performance. These reports are designed to inform parents, educators and communities about how well a school is performing and preparing its students for college and careers.

In particular, the School Performance Reports seek to:

 Focus attention on metrics that are indicative of college and career readiness.  Benchmark a school's performance against other peer schools that are educating similar students, against statewide outcomes, and against state targets to illuminate and build upon a school's strengths and identify areas for improvement.  Improve educational outcomes for students by providing both longitudinal and growth data so that progress can be measured as part of an individual school's efforts to engage in continuous improvement.

While the New Jersey School Performance Reports seek to bring more information to educators and stakeholders about the performance of schools, they do not seek to distill the performance of schools into a single metric, a single score, or a simplified conclusion. Instead, the intention is that educators and stakeholders will engage in deep, lengthy conversations about the full range of the data presented As educators know well, measuring school performance is both an art and a science. While the School Performance Report brings attention to important student outcomes, NJDOE does not collect data about other essential elements of a school, such as the provision of opportunities to participate and excel in extracurricular activities; the development of non-cognitive skills like time management and perseverance; the pervasiveness of a positive school culture or climate; or the attainment of other employability and technical skills, as many of these data are beyond both the capacity and resources of schools to measure and collect well.

PARCC Performance Level

The PARCC assesses how well students have learned grade-level material in English Language Arts/Literacy (ELA/L) and Math. The tests include questions that measure students’ fundamental skills and knowledge, and require them to think critically, solve problems and support or explain their answers.

The PARCC reports students’ overall scale scores that range from 650 to 850. To determine whether students have met academic expectations for their grade level/course in ELA/L and Math, students’ overall scale scores are categorized into five Performance Levels. Students performing at levels 4 and 5 (met or exceeded expectations) have demonstrated readiness for the next grade level/course, and are on track for college and careers.

2015 National Assessment Educational Progress (NAEP)

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is the largest national assessment of what our nation’s students know and can do. NAEP assesses fourth-, eighth-, and twelfth-grade students in subjects such as reading, mathematics, science, and writing. The reporting of NAEP scores on state report cards is a federal mandate. The results of NAEP are also published as the Nation’s Report Card, and are available for the nation, states, and, in some cases, urban districts. The NAEP scores on the report card include grades four and eight 2015 reading and math scores for New Jersey which are the last scores published.

Among the behaviors that research has shown to be indicative of successfully graduating high school is regularly attending school. For all elementary schools, this includes the percentage of students that are chronically absent each year, defined as missing more than 10% of possible school days.

SGP creates a 5.00 measure of how students progressed in grades 4 through 8 in Language Arts Literacy and in grades 4 through 7 in Math when compared to other students with a similar test score history. A short video explaining the methodology can be found here: http://www.state.nj.us/education/njsmart/performance/ The below chart consist of five columns with measures. The first column - Schoolwide Performance - presents the schoolwide median growth score in either English Language Arts/Literacy or Mathematics for all students in the school. The second column - Peer Percentile - indicates how the school’s growth performance compares to its group of peer schools. The third column - Statewide Percentile - indicates how a school compares to schools across the state. The last column - Met Target? - indicates whether the school’s performance met or exceeded the statewide target, which was set to 35. The fourth row presents the averages of the peer school percentiles, the averages of statewide percentiles, the percentage of statewide targets met.

Taken together with an understanding of the overall and average achievement levels in the school, the IQR furthers an understanding of the range of student outcomes that exist in a school. A school gap smaller than the state gap indicates that the school’s range of student outcomes is narrower than the state’s while a school gap larger than the state gap indicates that the school’s range of student outcomes is broader than the state’s.
