Bloomfield High School Has Jumped Nearly 100 Spots In NJ Rankings

BLOOMFIELD, NJ — At first glance, a ranking of 114 out of 357 may not seem like a reason to celebrate. But when it means that you’ve moved up nearly 100 spots in two years, it’s a “great day to be a Bengal,” according to administrators in the Bloomfield Public School District.

The New Jersey Department of Education released the latest School Performance Report earlier this month, with school districts scored from 0 to 100 based on factors like standardized test scores, student academic growth and graduation rates, among other metrics.

In the last two years, we have moved up nearly 100 spots and are ahead of many schools we have been trailing since the rankings started in 2019. It's a great day to be a Bengal!”
