2011 National Assessment Educational Progress (NAEP)

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is the largest national assessment of what our nation’s students know and can do. NAEP assesses fourth-, eighth-, and twelfth-grade students in subjects such as reading, mathematics, science, and writing. The reporting of NAEP scores on state report cards is a federal mandate. The results of NAEP are also published as the Nation’s Report Card, and are available for the nation, states, and, in some cases, urban districts. The NAEP scores on the report card include grades four and eight 2011 reading and math scores for New Jersey which are the last scores published. For subgroup outcomes, visit :

COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS

Students in both elementary and middles schools begin to demonstrate college readiness behaviors long before they even enter high school. Among the behaviors that research has shown to be indicative of success and college and career readiness are regularly attending school and challenging themselves with rigorous course work. First, the table presents the percentage of students, as measured against the school’s enrollment in seventh and eighth grade, who were reported via NJSMART as being enrolled in Algebra I. The table also presents the percentage of students who were chronically absent during the prior school year. A chronically absent student is a student who was not present for any reason for more than 10% of the total days possible for that individual student.

The first column - Schoolwide Performance - represents the outcomes for these particular indicators in this school. The second column - Peer School Percentile Rank - indicates how the school’s performance compares to its group of peer schools. For example, a school whose peer school rank is 65 in Algebra I Enrollment has a higher Algebra I Enrollment than 65% of its peer group. The third column - Statewide Percentile Rank - indicates how the school’s performance compares to schools across the state. The fourth column - Statewide Target - provides the statewide targets for each of these indicators. The last column - Met Target? - indicates whether the School Performance met or exceeded the statewide target.

The Summary row presents the averages of the peer school percentile ranks, the average of statewide percentile ranks and the percentage of statewide targets met.

STUDENT GROWTH

This section of the performance report presents data about student growth, utilizing the Student Growth Percentile Methodology (SGP). SGP creates a measure of how students progressed in grades 4 through 8 in NJ ASK Language Arts Literacy and Math when compared to other students with a similar NJ ASK test score history. A short video explaining the methodology can be found here: http://www.state.nj.us/education/njsmart/performance/

The first column - Schoolwide Performance - presents the schoolwide median growth score in either Language Arts Literacy or Math for all students in the school. The second column - Peer Rank - indicates how the school’s growth performance compares to its group of peer schools. The third column - Statewide Rank - indicates how a school compares to schools across the state. The last column - Met Target? - indicates whether the school’s performance met or exceeded the target.

The summary row presents the averages of the peer school percentile ranks, the averages of statewide percentile ranks, the percentage of statewide targets met.

WITHIN SCHOOL ACHIEVEMENT GAP

6 This section of the performance report presents data about the achievement gap that exists within a school - as measured by the difference between the students’ scale scores at the 25th and 75th percentile in the school, the so-called Interquartile Range (IQR). Taken together with an understanding of the overall and average achievement levels in the school, the IQR furthers an understanding of the range of student outcomes that exist in a school. A school gap smaller than the state gap indicates that the school’s range of student outcomes is narrower than the state’s while a school gap larger than the state gap indicates that the school’s range of student outcomes is larger than the state’s.

Academic Achievement measures the content knowledge students have in language arts literacy and math. In elementary and middle school, this includes the outcomes of the New Jersey Assessment of Skills and Knowledge (NJASK). The first column - Schoolwide Performance - in the table below includes measures of the total schoolwide proficiency rate in both language arts literacy and math across multiple administrations of the assessment . The second column - Peer School Percentile Rank - indicates where the school’s proficiency rate compares to its group of peer schools. For example, a school that has a peer school percentile rank of 65 has a proficiency rate that is higher than 65% of its peer schools. The third column - Statewide Percentile Rank - indicates where the school’s proficiency rate compares to schools across the state. For example, a school that has a statewide percentile rank of 30 has a proficiency rate that is higher than 30% of all schools with HSPA scores statewide. The last column - Percent of Targets Met - presents the percentage of progress targets met as defined by the NJDOE’s NCLB waiver.

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is the largest national assessment of what our nation’s students know and can do. NAEP assesses fourth-, eighth-, and twelfth-grade students in subjects such as reading, mathematics, science, and writing. The reporting of NAEP scores on state report cards is a federal mandate. The results of NAEP are also published as the Nation’s Report Card, and are available for the nation, states, and, in some cases, urban districts. The NAEP scores on the report card include grades four and eight 2011 reading and math scores for New Jersey which are the last scores published.For subgroup outcomes, visit :

COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS

Students in both elementary and middles schools begin to demonstrate college readiness behaviors long before they even enter high school. Among the behaviors that research has shown to be indicative of success and college and career readiness are regularly attending school and challenging themselves with rigorous course work. First, the table presents the percentage of students, as measured against the school’s enrollment in seventh and eighth grade, who were reported via NJSMART as being enrolled in Algebra I. The table also presents the percentage of students who were chronically absent during the prior school year. A chronically absent student is a student who was not present for any reason for more than 10% of the total days possible for that individual student.

The first column - Schoolwide Performance - represents the outcomes for these particular indicators in this school. The second column - Peer School Percentile Rank - indicates how the school’s performance compares to its group of peer schools. For example, a school whose peer school rank is 65 in Algebra I Enrollment has a higher Algebra I Enrollment than 65% of its peer group. The third column - Statewide Percentile Rank - indicates how the school’s performance compares to schools across the state. The fourth column - Statewide Target - provides the statewide targets for each of these indicators. The last column - Met Target? - indicates whether the School Performance met or exceeded the statewide target.

Absenteeism

Chronic Absenteeism - Number of students in the most recent school year that missed 10% or more of the instructional days in the school year divided by the total number of students enrolled.

6% Summary

The chart below presents the percentage of students who were absent in each category of absence: 0 absences, 1- 5 absences, 6 - 10 absences, 11 - 15 absences, and more than 15 absences. An absence is defined as being ‘not present’ and includes the days missed regardless of whether they were determined to be excused or unexcused by the school.

STUDENT GROWTH

This section of the performance report presents data about student growth, utilizing the Student Growth Percentile Methodology (SGP). SGP creates a measure of how students progressed in grades 4 through 8 in NJ ASK Language Arts Literacy and Math when compared to other students with a similar NJ ASK test score history. A short video explaining the methodology can be found here: http://www.state.nj.us/education/njsmart/performance/

The first column - Schoolwide Performance - presents the schoolwide median growth score in either Language Arts Literacy or Math for all students in the school. The second column - Peer Rank - indicates how the school’s growth performance compares to its group of peer schools. The third column - Statewide Rank - indicates how a school compares to schools across the state. The last column - Met Target? - indicates whether the school’s performance met or exceeded the target.

The summary row presents the averages of the peer school percentile ranks, the averages of statewide percentile ranks, the percentage of statewide targets met.

Low Growth is defined as an Student Growth Percentile score less than 35.

Typical Growth is defined as an Student Growth Percentile score between 35 and 65. High Growth is defined as a Student Growth Percentile score higher than 65.

6 This section of the performance report presents data about the achievement gap that exists within a school - as measured by the difference between the students’ scale scores at the 25th and 75th percentile in the school, the so-called Interquartile Range (IQR). Taken together with an understanding of the overall and average achievement levels in the school, the IQR furthers an understanding of the range of student outcomes that exist in a school. A school gap smaller than the state gap indicates that the school’s range of student outcomes is narrower than the state’s while a school gap larger than the state gap indicates that the school’s range of student outcomes is larger than the state’s.
