N.J. singles out 10 Bergen County schools as high-performingSTAFF WRITER The Record
Ten Bergen County
schools are among 57 that New Jersey has deemed to be “Reward Schools,”
meaning they were among the highest performing in the state last year,
or saw the greatest student gains in passing state tests. Most of the schools winning the new designation — which
the state Department of Education posted online last week with little
fanfare — are in affluent communities or are selective magnet schools,
such as the Bergen County Academies in Hackensack and Bergen County Technical High School in Teterboro. The others in the high performance category include Alpine Elementary School, Lyncrest Elementary School in Fair Lawn, Richard E. Byrd School and Central School in Glen Rock, Charles DeWolf Middle School in Old Tappan and Sicomac Elementary School in Wyckoff.
The state said these schools had the highest rates of proficiency on
state tests last spring — school-wide and in various racial and ethnic
groups. Two Bergen schools were deemed to have shown especially high growth for three years, including Hillside Elementary in Closter and Orchard Elementary in Ridgewood. The new “Reward Schools” designation brings prestige
but not much of a prize, although those that receive certain federal
funds for serving disadvantaged students could potentially get more
resources. Most of the schools winning the label are in affluent
communities, so they would likely not be eligible for financial rewards. The label comes from a new accountability system
adopted by New Jersey last year. The system also designates “Priority
Schools,” which are the lowest performing and subject to state remedies,
and “Focus Schools,” which have low graduation rates or wide
achievement gaps.
