2012-2013 NJ School Performance Report
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 students about how well a school is preparing its students for college and careers. Merchantville Boro
The new 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.
