About the Report Card
About This Report
Most of the data in the Report Card on the Schools comes from Inquirer surveys of 165 public school districts as well as technical and charter schools in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia Counties in Pennsylvania, and Burlington, Camden and Gloucester Counties in New Jersey. Private high schools in the eight counties also were surveyed.
In addition, the report draws from statistics published by the Departments of Education in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
