We are pleased to announce the launch of NJ21st’s interactive dashboard, developed to help users explore school performance data for each of the seven districts in our region (Berkeley Heights, New Providence, Westfield, Millburn, Chatham,Madison and Summit) .

Based on data from the New Jersey School Performance Reports, this tool provides a clear snapshot of academic outcomes and school climate indicators for one district at a time.

Users can select a district from the fixed menu on the left to view:
Student proficiency in ELA, Math, and Science over time
Student growth scores in ELA and Math
Rates of chronic absenteeism
Reported incidents of violence, HIB, and substance use per 100 students

This dashboard is part of NJ21st’s ongoing effort to make local education data more accessible, understandable, and useful to the community.
