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 1% of the total days possible for that individual student. The first column 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.

A proficiency rate is calculated by summing the count of students who scored either proficient or advanced proficient on the assessment and dividing by the count of valid test scores. College and Career readiness measures the degree to which students are demonstrating behaviors that are indicative of future attendance and/or success in college and careers. For all elementary and middle schools, this includes a measurement of how many students are chronically absent. For schools with middle school grades, it also includes a measurement of how many students take Algebra I in either seventh or eighth grade. Student Growth measures the performance of students from one year to the next on the New Jersey Assessment of Skills and Knowledge (NJ ASK) in Language Arts Literacy and Math when compared to students with a similar history of performance on NJASK. 1 1

COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS KNOWLTON TWP GRADE SPAN PK6 412474 KNOWLTON TWP ELEM SCHOOL POX 227 DELAWARE, NJ 7833152 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 1% of the total days possible for that individual student. The first column 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.

Academic Achievement measures the content knowledge students have in language arts literacy and math. For elementary and middle schools, this includes measures of the school's proficiency rate on both the Language Arts Literacy and Math sections of the New Jersey Assessment of Skills and Knowledge (NJ ASK). A proficiency rate is calculated by summing the count of students who scored either proficient or advanced proficient on the assessment and dividing by the count of valid test scores. College and Career readiness measures the degree to which students are demonstrating behaviors that are indicative of future attendance and/or success in college and careers. For all elementary and middle schools, this includes a measurement of how many students are chronically absent. For schools with middle school grades, it also includes a measurement of how many students take Algebra I in either seventh or eighth grade. Student Growth measures the performance of students from one year to the next on the New Jersey Assessment of Skills and Knowledge (NJ ASK) in Language Arts Literacy and Math when compared to students with a similar history of performance on NJASK. 1 1
