purpose of the New Jersey performance reports
The New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) released the 2023-2024 New Jersey School Performance Reports on April 3, 2025. Districts are required under the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) to post a link to the School Performance Reports on their website.
The School Performance Reports reflect the NJDOE’s commitment to providing parents, students, and school communities with extensive information about each school and local education agency (LEA). While these reports do not fully capture the unique circumstances and efforts of each school community, the NJDOE believes that it is critical to use the available data in the reports, along with other information collected directly within each LEA and community, to start conversations, identify gaps in information, and continue to find ways to ensure all students receive the support and resources that they need.

The 2023-2024 School Performance Reports include changes that respond to stakeholder feedback, federal and state requirements, and data availability. These changes include:
Additional chronic absenteeism data showing three-year trends in chronic absenteeism rates, an expanded summary of the percentage of days that students were absent, and whether schools are required to create a corrective action plan based on schoolwide chronic absenteeism rates;
Information on whether current and former multilingual learners are earning the Seal of Biliteracy;
Expanded visual and performing arts participation showing participation for all grades kindergarten through 12;
Information on student disciplinary removals, students involved in police notifications, and student arrests by student group and grade level is available directly in the School Performance Reports; and
New High School Persistence and federal 6-year graduation rates aligned with proposed amendments to the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) State Plan.
