3. 2017-18 School Performance Reports
The School Performance Reports reflect the New Jersey Department of Education’s extensive efforts to engage with parents, students, and school communities, and share the information this is most valuable in providing a picture of overall school performance. Communities are encouraged to use these reports to learn more, start conversations, and engage.
In addition to meeting the federal report requirements under ESSA, NJDOE is committed to developing reports that provide stakeholders with a broader picture of their schools and districts.
Along with the detailed School Performance Reports for each school, district, and state, one-page Summary Reports for each school and district are also available. The Summary Reports provide a high-level summary of how well a school or district is performing.
The reports and resources are also translated into Spanish.

25. How Was Our School Identified?
New Jersey’s ESSA school accountability system provides a formula to determine a performance score, which is based on various measures of progress (accountability indicators).
Our school has been identified based on its relative low performance using these measures. 
Optional School Performance Reports Template

26. What is a Comprehensive School?
Schools performing at or below the bottom fifth percentile of all Title I schools 
High schools with a graduation rate of 67% or less
The Academic Achievement indicator is determined by student performance on:
PARCC ELA/L: Grades 3-10
PARCC Mathematics: Grades 3-8 and end-of course assessments for Algebra I, Algebra II and Geometry
DLM: ELA/L and Mathematics 3-8 and high school
Optional School Performance Reports Template

27. What is a Targeted School?
Schools with a subgroup performing at or below the bottom 5% threshold of Title I schools, or
Schools with a subgroup that misses all interim targets and performs below the state average for all available indicators for two consecutive years
Subgroups include different racial and ethnic groups, English learners, students with disabilities, and economically disadvantaged students

What Happens Next?
Schools identified for support and improvement work in partnership with their education community of parents, families, educators, and community members throughout the year to:
Assess needs related to the areas of weakness
Identify strategies and resources that can impact improvement
Create an Annual School Plan that will outline specific steps
Outline a timeline for completion of those steps 
Understand the steps needed to be removed from status

29. Optional School Performance Reports Template 2018-2019
How Can I Get Involved?
Reach out to your school and district to find out about opportunities for how parents, families, and educators will work together to improve their schools.  
Schools and districts are required to engage with parents, families, educators, and community members throughout the year to assess needs related to the areas of weakness, identify strategies and resources that can impact improvement, create an improvement plan and timeline for completion. 
See NJDOE’s Stakeholder Engagement Guide ( for detailed descriptions of these requirements.
