Lawrence High School Earns Above Average Marks in New Report

As students and teachers prepare to head back to high school, a new report has been released that rates how area high schools are performing. 

Inside Jersey, a magazine produced by the Star Ledger, used a "proprietary formula" to chart trends in student achievement over the past four years.

The magazine used data from the state's High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA), SAT scores and other data in its calculations to dole out letter grades.

Lawrence High School earned a "B" grade for above average scores and above average growth. The composite SAT score for a Lawrence student was 1530. The student achievement was calculated at 5.6 percent from 2008-12, the time period over which the study took place.

 The full report can be seen here on NJ.com.
