NJDOE/District Reports

  • QSAC Information:
    The Quality Single Accountability Continuum (QSAC) is the Department of Education’s monitoring and evaluation system for public school districts. The system shifts the monitoring and evaluation focus from compliance to assistance, capacity-building and improvement. It is a single comprehensive accountability system that consolidates and incorporates the monitoring requirements of applicable state laws and programs and complements federally required improvements. The system focuses on monitoring and evaluating school districts in five key components that, based on research, have been identified to be key factors in effective school districts.  Harmony Township School District had undergone QSAC review during the 2011-2012 school year.


    District Performance Report Information:
    Beginning with School Year 2011-2012, the New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) has significantly revised the annual school report cards, required under both federal and state legislation. The new School Performance Reports are designed to enhance both educator and stakeholder engagement in discussions about how well a school is preparing their students for college and careers.

    In particular, the new School Performance Reports seek to:

    • Focus attention on metrics that are indicative of college and career readiness.
    • Benchmark a school’s performance against other peer schools that are educating similar students, against statewide outcomes, and against state targets to illuminate and build upon a school’s strengths and identify areas for improvement.
    • Improve educational outcomes for students by providing both longitudinal and growth data so that progress can be measured as part of an individual school’s efforts to engage in continuous improvement.
    **The District Performance Report system has taken place of the Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for school districts in New Jersey.
