NJ DOE Names Lawrence Public Schools 'High Performing' District

LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ - The New Jersey Department of Education has officially certified the Lawrence Township Public Schools (LTPS) as a “High Performing” school district, officials said Monday.

This follows a rigorous evaluation through the New Jersey Quality Single Accountability Continuum (QSAC) review process, conducted every three years for all New Jersey school districts.

During the QSAC review, LTPS was evaluated in five areas - Instruction & Program, Fiscal Management, Governance, Operations, and Personnel.

The district achieved a perfect score of 100 percent in three of these categories, resulting in an overall average score of over 95 percent.

This earned LTPS the prestigious “High Performing” designation.

DOE officials visited the district on several occasions, soliciting data for more than 100 separate “indicators” including evaluations, policies, practices, processes, and meeting records in each of the five areas.

"This recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our educators, staff, students, and families,” Robyn Klim, Superintendent of LTPS said.

“We are incredibly proud of this accomplishment, which highlights our ongoing commitment to providing a high-quality education and fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment for every student.”
