State Education Commissioner Chris Cerf says teachers are ‘owed a debt of gratitude’ for the achievement
New Jersey schools continue to improve their overall national ranking on the 2011 National Assessment of Educational Progress, the largest nationally representative and continuing assessment of what America's students know and can do in various subject areas.
Between 2009 and 2011, New Jersey maintained its ranking as the 2nd highest performing state in the country in grade 4 and 8 reading, and improved from 5th to 4th in grade 4 math, and from 5th to 3rd in grade 8 math, the state Department of education announced Tuesday.

With all of the negative press over education I think many of us forget the most on NJ has always been a leader in educational achievement. Yes, any organization has room for improvement but we are far ahead of most other states.
Really, and what example did the BOE set, when they fired the special Education man that Dr. Stokley appointed? Oh, that's right, probably one of Desimone's relatives needed a job.
Those tests are bullshit indicators. Compared to other industrialized nations the U.S. lags far behind. Let's heed the advice of RepubliCONS - privatize, privatize, privatize. AKA profitize, rip off and profitize.
