School Performance Reports

The New Jersey School Performance Reports provide families, educators, and community members with a detailed look at how schools, districts, and the state are performing. Published each year by the New Jersey Department of Education, these reports highlight both successes and areas for growth, offering a clear picture of student outcomes and school quality.

The reports go beyond test scores to include a wide range of information, such as:

  • Academic achievement and student growth on statewide assessments

  • Chronic absenteeism and attendance trends

  • College and career readiness measures, including AP/IB participation, SAT/ACT results, and dual enrollment

  • Graduation rates and postsecondary enrollment

  • Student demographics and subgroup performance

  • School climate and offerings, such as arts programs, early childhood education, and safety data

By comparing schools to state averages and peer schools with similar demographics, the reports provide important context for understanding performance. They are an essential tool for transparency, accountability, and planning, helping schools and districts set goals, allocate resources, and celebrate student and staff accomplishments.

At Long Branch Public Schools, we use the School Performance Reports to reflect on our progress, strengthen our programs, and ensure that every student has the support needed to succeed.
