New Jersey school accountability, made usable.

Search for a school, edit subgroup outcomes across all indicators, and project how the school's statewide accountability standing could change. Comparison schools can now be selected intentionally instead of only being suggested.

How to use this tool

Search for a school — type a school name, district, or county in the search box and select the school you want to explore.
Review its indicators— each accountability indicator (ELA, Math, Chronic Absenteeism, etc.) is shown as a collapsible card with the school's current subgroup values.
Edit subgroup values — change any eligible value to model a hypothetical improvement. Fields update automatically when you click away, or press Recalculate Projection to run manually.
Read the projection — the Calculated Summative Rank and Score update to show where the school would rank statewide under your scenario.
Add comparison schools — search for peer schools to see how the home school sits relative to them after recalculation.

All values are hypothetical. No data is submitted or saved anywhere.

School Simulator

Selected school: Emma C Attales in Absecon Public Schools District (Elementary). Blank or state-suppressed values remain non-editable in this first pass and should stay unchanged.

Summative rank projections are based on the public files available in this project. NJDOE appears to use higher-precision internal values, tie-break rules, or additional unpublished adjustments when assigning final reported ranks, so projected ranks may differ slightly from the state-reported rank even when a school's visible component scores match.

Comparison Schools

Pick the schools you want to compare against, then view where the selected home school sits relative to them after recalculation.

Where to focus first

Based on this school's subgroup z-scores relative to the statewide pool. A negative z-score means that subgroup trails the state average for its pool.
