Recently released test scores show that black and Latino students in New Jersey public charter schools are twice as likely to be at grade level compared to their peers.

According to a Dec. 19 press release (pdf), an assessment of 2022 test scores compiled by the New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) shows that black and Latino students attending public charter schools in the six largest charter cities—Newark, Trenton, Paterson, Camden, Jersey City, and Plainfield—are twice as likely to be proficient in English language arts and mathematics when compared to their district peers. Test scores were not assessed during the two-year COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns.
