The New Jersey School Performance Reports for the 2022-2023 school year have been released and are available on the NJ School Performance Reports webpage at www.njschooldata.org. The Phillipsburg District Report can be viewed here.
The School Performance Reports reflect the New Jersey Department of Education’s (NJDOE) commitment to providing parents, students, and school communities with a large variety of information about each school and district. These reports can be used as a tool to help evaluate whether all students have equitable access to high quality education. We encourage you to use these reports to:

• Learn more about your school.
• Start conversations with school community members and ask questions.
• Engage with school communities to identify what schools are doing well and where they can improve.
