New Jersey School Report Card
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New Jersey School Report Card is an annual report produced each year by the New Jersey Department of Education for all public schools in New Jersey, as required under a 1995 state law. The School Report Card presents thirty-five fields of information for each school in the following categories: school environment, students, student performance indicators, staff, and district finances.
The Department of Education uses the School Report Card as part of an effort to increase school- and district-level accountability for educational progress by providing relevant data to the public that can be used to monitor and measure the performance of schools. While the format and contents of the reports have changed over time, the New Jersey School Report Card has offered the public information about each and every New Jersey school since 1995 when the Legislature enacted the reporting requirement.
