What determines a school or district’s designation as low performing?
In response to the court order of June 24, 2003, schools where 50 per cent or fewer of the students achieved proficiency on the NJ state assessment (ESPA/ASK4) were designated low performing schools (LPS). If 25 per cent or more of the schools within a district are designated low performing, the district is designated a low performing district (LPD).
