BeatsExpectations
Not computed for this schoolBeatsExpectations is not computed for specialized-population schools (schools for the deaf or blind, therapeutic and behavioral-health placements, juvenile-justice and alternative-education settings, and similar). State ELA/Math proficiency rates are not a comparable metric for these populations, so a demographically-adjusted residual against general-enrollment peers would be misleading.

How to read these scores
What is NJSLA?
NJSLA is the statewide standardized test administered by New Jersey public schools.
What does "% Meeting or Exceeding Expectations" mean?
It is the share of students at the school who performed at grade level or above on the test, summed across the top two of four performance levels. A higher number is better.
What does 9.6% mean for English Language Arts at Bergen County Technical High School - Paramus?
It means about 9.6 percent of students tested at Bergen County Technical High School - Paramus performed at grade level or above on the NJSLA English Language Arts test in 2024-25. The statewide average for New Jersey that year was 53.1%. The other students fell into the lower performance levels.
How is the state average calculated?
It is a weighted average, not a simple average of each school's number. We multiply each public school's score by how many of its students tested, add those together for all schools in New Jersey, and divide by the total students tested that year. This way a big school with 1,500 students counts more than a small school with 50 students, which is the right way to ask "how did the typical student do this year?". District and county averages on this page use the same method, just scoped to that district or county.
Where does this data come from?
New Jersey Department of Education, New Jersey Student Learning Assessments (NJSLA). Per-grade per-subject Spring administration: ELA grades 3-9, Math grades 3-8 + Algebra I/II + Geometry, Science grades 5/8/11. School-level All Students subgroup from the NJDOE Statewide Assessment Reports. Headline metric is the cumulative 'Meeting or Exceeding Expectations' rate (top 2 of 5 ELA/Math levels; top 2 of 4 Science levels).
How often is it updated?
NJSLA is administered once a year (spring). Results are released by the state in the summer or early fall. We refresh this page after each annual release.
