    State of New Jersey 2014-15 27-3385-050 OVERVIEW MORRISTOWN HIGH SCHOOL MORRIS 50 EARLY STREET GRADE SPAN 09-12 MORRIS SCHOOL DISTRICT MORRISTOWN, NJ 07960 1.00 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.

  • Parsippany-Troy Hills Board of Education
    Parsippany-Troy Hills Board of Education Announces New Turf Fields for Parsippany High School and Parsippany Hills High School The Parsippany-Troy Hills Board of Education announced plans for new synthetic turf fields to be installed at Parsippany High and Parsippany Hills High Schools, a move that will have an immediate, positive impact on the district’s students, sports teams, and community. New Home of the Redhawks – Parsippany High School New Home of the Vikings – Parsippany Hills High School Turf Fields FAQs 1. How did we get here? For over 20 years, the Board of Education and community leaders have tried to find ways to improve the unsatisfactory conditions at the main athletic complexes at both high schools. In October 2012, the Board of Education asked the community to approve a tax increase for field improvements with a 7.7 million dollar Referendum which was defeated by 628 votes (1745 to 2372). As a result of the outcome of the referendum an AdHoc Committee was formed comprised of, community members, Board members, and administrators, which looked into funding the project through door-to-door donations, which did not seem feasible. 2. What is Being Proposed? The goal of the Board of Education was to fund this project to bring the needed improvements to the fields without additional community tax dollars or reducing money to students/classrooms. The Parsippany-Troy Hills Board of Education has approved a $2,533,000 million project for athletic field improvements. The projected cost for the fields’ project is $2,268,000, which has been budgeted in the 2015- 2016 capital outlay budget.

    State of New Jersey 2014-15 13-3750-050 OVERVIEW NUTLEY HIGH SCHOOL ESSEX 300 FRANKLIN AVE GRADE SPAN 09-12 NUTLEY TOWN NUTLEY, NJ 07110-2734 1.00 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.
