CINNAMINSON TOWNSHIP PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2011 TEST SCORE PRESENTATION

CINNAMINSON SCHOOL DISTRICT TEST SCORE PRESENTATION 2011 The following are some points to consider as you review the test data. Education in New Jersey ranks close to the top in national achievement as measured by NAEP, the National Assessment of Educational Progress. NJ ranks 2nd in the nation in grades 4 and 8 reading. NJ moved from 5th to 4th place in grade 4 math and from 5th to 3rd place in grade 8 math. Nearly all subgroups have improved since 2003, but there is still a gap in achievement between the total population and subgroups. State tests, as required by No Child Left Behind, are different in every state. What do the questions look like on NJ state tests? Neither teachers nor administrators are permitted to see the actual test questions. Within the slideshow, there are sample questions. While scores have been fairly steady in many areas, there are some notable changes in 2011.

This year our scores are higher than our DFG* and the state average in total scores for every test. Other changes: We have seen a 4 year upswing in math 8. There has been a 3 year upswing in math 5. There has been a 3 year decline in LAL 5. Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) is the state scale for indicating that schools are meeting requirements. The number indicates the percentage of students achieving scores of 200. Those expectations increased considerably in 2011 over While AYP improved over the report of 2010, and all total scores met requirements, three building subgroups failed to make AYP. There has been a decline in SAT scores. This situation is being addressed at the HS with The Princeton Review providing services to students and teachers along with other changes to the program. Cinnaminson has developed plans to recognize what practices supported increased scores so that we can continue those practices. We have also developed plans for improvement in areas where we have not seen insufficient growth. *DFG is the District Factor Group, a measure of income, education and other factors to compare communities. Our DFG is FG.
