Mullica School Ranking


New Jersey has a new but controversial rating system that graded every school on a 1-100 scale — a system educators say paints an incomplete picture of the state's 2,100 schools (see entire list below).
The ratings for high schools are based on graduation and absenteeism rates and PARCC scores, while elementary and middle school scores are based on absenteeism, PARCC and student progress on PARCC tests, according to the state Department of Education.
The new ratings were established to comply with the federal Every Student Succeeds Act, which replaced the controversial No Child Left Behind Act. ESSA was enacted in 2015, and it was intended to "build on key areas of progress in recent years, made possible by the efforts of educators, communities, parents, and students across the country," according to the U.S. Department of Education.
 Based on the reports, it appears that schools that finished with at least a 50 score could be considered average, falling within the 50 percentile. Anything above 70 appeared to be around the top 20 percent.

 2105 schools ranked
  599 -Mullica Twp Middle, Mullica Twp, ATLANTIC  Score 71.59 
1390 -Mullica Twp Primary, Mullica Twp, ATLANTIC Score 34.00
