Howell HS Recognized for High Test Scores in New Report

As students and teachers prepare to head back to high school, a new report has been released that rates how area high schools are performing. 

Inside Jersey, a magazine produced by the Star Ledger, used a 'proprietary formula' to chart trends in student achievement over the past four years. The magazine used the state's High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA), SAT scores and other data in its calculations to dole out letter grades. The full report can be seen here on NJ.com.

Howell High School was given an 'A' grade for "above average scores, below average growth."

Composite SAT scores at Howell were 1510, and student achievement grew .8% during the study period.  

Read the report in the print edition of the In Jersey. In it, the report says schools that scored 'A' are considered "above average to excellent. Many are great schools with scores that have remained high."
