KEY POINTS
NJ ASK 4 – GEPA – HSPA

  1. The results of this data analysis are preliminary.
  2. Student mobility is based on students enrolled after July 1 for NJ ASK 4, GEPA, and HSPA.
  3. Alternate Proficiency Assessment (APA) results for proficiency have not been added to the special education calculations. Participation for students taking the APA has been included.
  4. For limited English proficient students, the full flexibility of the law has been applied.
  5. A five percent misclassification rate has been applied to the AYP benchmarks for both the total school and student subgroup performance.
  6. For participation calculations, the student count is 40. For proficiency, the student count is 20, except for the special education subgroup, which is 35.
  7. Participation averaging has not been calculated; it may be calculated for the final analysis.
  8. A dash (-) in the "Made 95% Participation Rate" and "Made 2004 AYP Benchmark Target" columns denotes no students or less than the required number of students in a student subgroup.
  9. Safe Harbor has been calculated for NJ ASK 4, GEPA, and HSPA.
  10. Safe Harbor is calculated for the total population and all student subgroups.
  11. Safe Harbor is attained if the proportion of students in the subgroup or the total population scoring partially proficient is reduced by ten percent over the previous year.
  12. If prior year data is not available, Safe Harbor is not calculated.
  13. To make Safe Harbor for any student subgroup, secondary measures must also be met for that group.
  14. The secondary measure for elementary and middle schools is attendance rate. The secondary measure for high schools is drop-out rate. The field is blank for the preliminary report as the data is unavailable.
