Montclair High School Listed Under 'Most Improved,' Report Says

Montclair High School is among the schools in the state showing the most improvement, according to a report released Monday by Inside Jersey.

The high school received a "B" rating in the publication's annual assessment, the grade reported to be given to schools making the greatest strides. 

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, Verona and Caldwell.
