Well, just saw this piece here in NJ.com on how the NJ DoE graded its public school scores for the school year 2017-18.
The piece says NJ DoE released the new scores, which are graded on a scale of -0- to 100 and consider standardized test results, graduation rates and other factors.
The piece also explains how the scores were determined and these scores are only one piece of the puzzle. You should read the entire article to better understand the meaning and value of these scores.
Apparently, a 50th percentile rating is considered average.
Anyhoo, whether you place much stock in these scores or not, you can't help but notice there's quite a difference between the schools in our town.
