Hope Township School Board Mission Statement

By fostering communication and respect in a positive educational environment, all children can realize their potential.

Hope School Earns High Marks

The New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) is responsible for monitoring all school districts in New Jersey. Prior to 2007, the process was done in depth every seven years and annually through QAAR, Quality Annual Assurance Report.

The new system that is in effect beginning 2007-08 is called NJQSAC, New Jersey Quality Single Accountability Continuum. This is a very detailed process that is administered every 3 years. Hope was one of 6 districts in Warren County selected to be reviewed in the first year. Each district reviewed underwent a self review last fall with teachers, Board of Education and administration. The school district was evaluated during the past 3 school years on 315 items in five areas: Instruction and Program, Fiscal, Operations and Personnel and Governance. The Warren County Office of Education then visited schools to review all elements of the evaluation. Finally, the Commissioner of Education reviewed these findings to certify the results.

Earlier this month I received a written letter from Education Commissioner Davy to verify that Hope Township School District has been certified as a High Performing School District, the highest designation by the NJDOE! In fact Hope School District received two perfect scores of 100% in the areas of Operations and Personnel!!

Congratulations to our staff, Board of Education, students and parents. In order to attain the highest achievement level, the district must be supported by the community. Everyone in Hope should be proud to be part of such an outstanding accomplishment and to have an excellent school system serving the community!
