Low Scores for Bloomfield High Schools on Inside Jersey Report

Bloomfield High School scored a "C" in a report released Monday by Inside Jersey, while Essex County Vocational-Bloomfield received a “D in Inside Jersey’s public high school ratings. 

Inside Jersey looked at the New Jersey Department of Education's High School Proficiency Assessment results for language arts and math tests.

The annual assessment was done differently this year, according to the publication. Rather than rating schools based on a single year's scores, results were compared over a four-year period. 

SAT scores were also weighted to come up with the grades.

Schools which received As and Bs had higher than average test scores.

Nearby schools scoring an "A" include Glen Ridge, West Essex and Caldwell.
