The School Performance Reports reflect
the New Jersey Department of Education’s (NJDOE) commitment to providing
parents, students, and school communities with a large variety of information about
each school and district. These reports can be used as a tool to help evaluate
whether all students have equitable access to high quality education. We
encourage you to use these reports to:
- Learn more about
the school and the district
- Start conversations with
school community members and ask questions
- Engage with
school communities to identify where schools are doing well and where they
can improve
Important
Notes for 2019-2020:
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the way the NJDOE
was able to measure school performance and student achievement for the
2019-2020 School Performance Reports. Some data is not available at all and
other data, while available, may not look the same as it did in prior years.
The NJDOE also recognizes that our existing data can't begin to measure the
hard work and perseverance of the students, families, educators and community
members during this difficult year. This past year has been unlike any other,
and the NJDOE believes that it is critical to use the available data in the
reports, along with other information collected directly within districts and
communities, to start conversations, identify gaps in information, and begin to
find ways to address the impacts of COVID-19 and ensure all students receive
the support that they need.
The 2019-2020 School Performance Reports will
not include the following data elements:
- Statewide assessment
participation and performance (NJSLA, DLM, ACCESS for ELLs)
- Student growth Data
- Chronic absenteeism rates
- Progress toward English
language proficiency
- ESSA Summative ratings or
indicator scores
- Status in meeting annual
targets or standards for ESSA indicators
A new “Impact of COVID-19 on Data
Availability” resource summarizes which data is available, which
data is not available, and which data may have been impacted. Notes are
included throughout the School Performance Reports and the Reference Guide to
explain where data is missing or impacted by COVID-19. Look for “Important Note
for 2019-2020” sections.
