2016 Back-To-School Convocation
For instance, graduation rates had gone up, Lexile scores increased, students reading and writing ability had improved, and new programs had been implemented. Some of those programs that contributed to this progress were the School Honors Academy and the High School Early College Program with Brookdale Community College. In addition, the Asbury Park School District now has been accepted in the NJDOE (New Jersey Department of Education) Innovative New Jersey Community. Dr. Repollet stated that now other school districts and educational academies wanted to know what the Asbury Park School District was using because it was working.
