Battle Monument Intermediate School

2021-22 – 2024-25 · the ESSA record

New Jersey has published a summative rating for Battle Monument Intermediate School in three school years under ESSA. The rating is a percentile inside a group of schools NJDOE considers comparable — where the school placed among them, not a score and not a grade.

NJDOE weighted the indicators the same way for elementary and middle schools in every one of these editions, 2021-22 to 2024-25, so these three ratings may be read as one line.

Higher is further up: the line is the share of similar New Jersey schools this school placed above, in each year NJDOE ranked it. The axis runs the full 0 to 100 because a percentile’s whole range is real. This is a position, not a level. Every number NJDOE puts into the rating is itself a ranking against that year’s other schools — each indicator score is a percentile before it is weighted — so a year in which every school in the state improved would look exactly like a year in which none did. What the line can show is where this school sat among its contemporaries; what it cannot show is whether the contemporaries moved. The summative score behind each point is in the table below. Where the line stops and starts again, the state changed the calculation and the two stretches are not comparable; where the panel is shaded, nothing was calculated at all.

Inside 2024-25 · what produced the most recent rating

For 2024-25 New Jersey weighted six indicators to add to 100 and gave this school 1.42 of those 100 points. It then ranked that total against the 1,659 New Jersey schools it grouped as Elementary for the year and published an exact zero percentile — the bottom of that line-up, not a missing value.

Each bar’s light track is the points that indicator was worth at this school; the filled part is the points it earned. NJDOE converts each result into a 0–100 indicator score — built from the standardised results of each student group large enough to report, not from the school-wide number alone — then multiplies that score by the weight. The tracks add to 100 and the filled bars add to the summative score, within the publisher’s own rounding.

Four-year graduation rate, Five-year graduation rate, Six-year graduation rate, High school persistence are not part of the calculation for a school NJDOE groups as Elementary.

For 2026-27, NJDOE’s separate Targeted Summary lists Students with Disabilities; Multilingual Learners; Hispanic; Economically Disadvantaged and sets a Yes flag for Hispanic; Multilingual learners; Students with disabilities. Those two fields do not agree on this row. NJDOE’s group list and its adjacent Yes columns name different sets of groups. Both are shown here exactly as published, and neither is corrected from any other file: 2024_25_Accountability_Workbook_File_Targeted_Support_and_Improvement.xlsx#Summary!1175

These are policy-defined values: which indicators count, and how much each counts, is set by New Jersey’s ESSA plan, not by any measure of school quality. The weights are specific to this school — an indicator that drops out shifts weight onto the rest, so the same indicator is worth different points at different schools. The workbooks measure 2024-25 and were published on April 2, 2026; 2024-25 was not a year New Jersey identified schools for comprehensive or targeted support, so these files carry no CSI or ATSI status. These weights are 2024-25’s: the indicator set and the weighting have both moved across the eight editions above, and for some school types they moved in this one.

2015 – 2016 · participation only, on PARCC

New Jersey set no performance target and published no performance determination in these two editions — not for this school, and not for any school in the state. The tests changed to PARCC and the profiles print five columns where the earlier ones print seven, so what the state judged here is test participation and, below it, graduation and attendance. These two years are comparable with each other. Nothing here is a performance verdict, and the missing column is the state’s decision, not a gap in this record. YES* means something else here than it did through 2014. With no performance column to sit in, it appears in the participation column and marks a group whose participation rate was met with participation averaging applied.

2012 – 2014 · progress targets, on NJASK and HSPA

Each group large enough to score was measured against a progress target set for it individually, on NJASK and HSPA. These three years are comparable with each other. Most cells are empty by design — a group below the state’s minimum size got no determination at all. YES* never means the target was met. In these editions it marks a group that missed the printed target and was credited inside a 95% confidence interval, and it appears in the performance column.
