New Brunswick High School Gets a "D" 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 data from 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.

New Brunswick High School was given an 'D' grade for "below average scores, below average growth." 

The composite SAT score at New Brunswick was 1276; and the student achievement was calculated at -1.3 percent over the study period, from 2008-12.
