Test scores above
average in state
By JULIE STIPE
The Princeton Sun
Students in the Princeton
Regional School district
scored well above average
state scores on SATs, NJ As-
sessment of Skills and Knowl-
edge (ASK) tests, and High
School Proficiency Assess-
ment (HSPAs) over the 2010-
2011 school year, according to
data released in the New Jer-
sey School Report Cards late
last month.
The annual report cards
compile data from each public
school in the state and summa-
rize the material in 35 fields of
information dealing with
school environment, students,
student performance indica-
tors, staff, and district fi-
nances. The data is compared
to state averages, district fac-
tor group averages, and data
from previous years.
The average SAT score for
students at Princeton High
School was about 100 points
higher than state average
scores. During the 2010-2011
school year, the average
Princeton High School student
scored 1832 out of 2400 on the
SAT, and averaged scores of
620 in math, 604 in verbal, and
608 on the essay portion of the
SAT. Average state scores were
518 in math, 494 in verbal, and
496 on the essay.
Princeton High School
scores were also better than
district factor group averages.
The district factor grouping
system is a method used by the
New Jersey Department of Ed-
ucation to group schools ac-
cording to socioeconomic sta-
tus. It takes into account the
percent of the population
without a high school diploma,
the percent of the population
with some college education,
the occupations of those in the
district, population density, in-
come, the unemployment rate
in the district, and poverty.
Average SAT scores for
schools in Princetons district
factor group were 570 in math,
543 in verbal, and 552 on the
essay.
The districts graduation
rate was 92.71 percent, well
above the state average of 83.17
percent.
Elementary schools in the
district also did well on the NJ
ASK tests. Over 60 percent of
students in Community Park,
Littlebrook Elementary, River-
side School, and Johnson Park
School were considered ad-
vanced proficient in math ac-
cording scores on the NJ ASK
5 test. Statewide, 39.8 percent
of students were judged to be
advanced proficient.
On the NJ ASK 5 test, Com-
munity Park, Littlebrook,
Riverside, and Johnson Park
all had a higher percentage of
advanced proficient students
in language arts than the state
average as well.
Class sizes in Princeton ele-
mentary and middle schools
tended to be under the state av-
erage class sizes, except for
Princeton High School, which

middle school category at the 2012 National STEM Video Game Challenge.
Teams win national contest
By JULIE STIPE
The Princeton Sun
Of the 3,700 entries to the Na-
tional STEM Video Game Chal-
lenge inspired by President
Obamas science, technology, en-
gineering and math initiative,
only 22 games won.
Nine were in the middle school
category.
Two of the winning middle
school games were created by
teams from Stuart Country Day
School in Princeton, with the help
of math and computer science
teacher Alicia Testa.
The challenge asked students
to design a computer game to
help kids ages 4 to 8 learn basic
math skills. In January, Testa
said, the all-girls school got a call
from PBS, which was sponsoring
part of the challenge, asking if
the school wanted to participate.
At first, I said I think we can
do it, because I had just started
programming with the eighth-
grade computer class, Testa
said.
Testa took the challenge to her
eighth-grade students, and began
teaching them how to use the
basic programming platform
Scratch to build games.
They were like, Well, we real-
ly dont know how to do this.
Testa said. And, I was like, Well,
we have nothing to lose, so were
going to see what happens. And
youre going to learn program-
ming while youre doing this.
The girls picked up Scratch
quickly, Testa said, and the expe-
rience taught them more than
just programming it also exer-
cised their teamwork, math and
art skills.
I heard people say that it gave
them a chance to try something
new and it gave them a chance to
build teamwork because they re-
ally needed to work together as a
team on brainstorming, Testa
said.
Designing the games also gave
the girls a math workout. In pro-
gramming their games, Testa
said, the kids had to be sure that
the numbers they used in the
math problems worked out to

A Little Night Music
hits the stage in June
Princeton Summer Theater is
excited to present a compelling
new production of Stephen Sond-
heim and Hugh Wheelers stun-
ning musical, A Little Night
Music. Based on Ingmar
Bergmans classic film Smiles of
A Summer Night, the play is a
sweet, sardonic ode to the foolish
abandon of romance that all ages
will enjoy.
For Madame Armfeldts guests,
love can never come too soon or
too late. There are lovers hidden
in every corner of Madame Arm-
feldts country manse: Desire,
the actress; Desires former
beau, Fredrik, and his new young
wife, Anne; Desires current
lover, Carl-Magnus, and his wife,
Charlotte; and still others, it
seems, making a racket in the sta-
bles. Lovers are swapped, lives in-
tersect, and as the night smiles on
the young, the old, and the fool-
ish, everything somehow falls
beautifully into place.
Starring Princeton Summer
Theater Company members
Maeve Brady (Charlotte), Andrew
Massey (Carl-Magnus), Miyuki
Miyagi (Anne), and Evan Thomp-
son (Fredrik); and Princeton Uni-
versity undergraduates Sarah
Anne Sillers (Desire) and Mark
Watter (Henrik). Directed by Mc-
Carter Theaters Associate Pro-
ducer Adam Immerwahr, and
Music Directed by Princeton Uni-
versity graduate Kevin Laskey.
A Little Night Music opens
Thursday, June 21. Performances
are June 21 to 24 and June 28 to
July 1. Performances are Thurs-
days through Saturdays at 8 p.m.
and Saturdays and Sundays at 2

in our opinion
T
he state Department of Educa-
tion recently released its annu-
al report cards, reviews of
every school in New Jersey. And if
anything, they reveal just how com-
plex a system it is to run public
schools.
From budgeting to cost-per-pupil
numbers to maintaining test scores to
ensuring theres adequate technology
in schools and classrooms, theres no
doubt its hardly an easy task to main-
tain excellence in schools.
Yet what we found is quite promis-
ing, especially in high schools in towns
we cover.
SAT scores in all three categories:
verbal, mathematics and essay are
very strong. In most cases, the average
scores were at or above the states aver-
age. Some were well above average.
The same can be said for HSPA test,
which all high school students must
take and pass before graduating. The
average scores, for the most part in our
readership, are solidly at or above state
averages, especially in the proficient
and advanced proficiency categories
for both mathematics and language
arts.
This is a true representation of the
diligent work of most students, and its
an indication of the hard work of most
teachers and administrators in New
Jersey.
While youll see in our report card
stories this week that most superin-
tendents of schools and other school
officials are happy with results, we
were also pleased to see some of the
same leaders not content with the sta-
tus quo, and making it clear that as
well as districts have performed,
theres still much more room for im-
provement in all areas.
Often, teachers and school adminis-
trators mostly unfairly are knocked
by the public. There are too many in-
stances to list here. Yet one thing is
abundantly clear from the local results
of the 2010-11 report cards: Theres
much more to celebrate than there is to
be concerned about.
Making the grade
State school report cards confirm: local districts getting the job done
How did your school fare?
In todays edition of The Sun, we take
a look at results of the 2010-11 state
schools Report Cards. Be sure to read
the story beginning on page 1, and
check out our information graphics
on the inside pages of the newspaper.
whole number answers, so that 4 year olds
wouldnt have to deal with fractions.
They were doing a higher level of
mathematics without realizing it, said
Testa.
Many students drew their own artwork
for the games as well.
They could pick ones created by
Scratch, or they could create their own, so
most of them created a few of their own,
Testa said.
Julia Wiengaertner and Sarah Lippman
are the winning team behind Animal In-
equalities, a game that teaches kids how
to use greater than, equal to, and less than
signs.
In the game, the player uses the arrow
keys to direct a sharks mouth toward the
greater number of fish, or uses an equal
sign if the number of fish is the same.
We were brainstorming ideas in class,
and Sarah came up with the idea of a
shark who wanted to eat a larger number
of fish, because thats how we learned it
when we were in elementary school,
Wiengaertner said.
Chloe Mario, Madeleine Lapuerta and
Emma Froehlich designed the game Math
Racing Mania, in which a player drives a
car, solving math equations along the way.
Youre lost on your way home, so youre
going down this road, and once you come
to an intersection, theres three possible
paths one of them will take you home so
you have solve the right math problem, and
if you solve it correctly, it will lead you on
your way, Lapuerta said.
After some debate at the beginning of
the project, the team settled on the idea of
a car game as a good way to interest both
boys and girls in math.
We had an ice cream idea, and then we
just thought the car game would be the
best because theres a lot of car games now,
like Super Mario and games like that, so
we thought that itd be good to have a game
that could appeal to both boys and girls,
said Froehlich.
Once the teams were notified they had
won, they were invited to the Smithsonian
American Art Museum in Washington,
D.C., for a formal recognition of the middle
and high school challenge winners. Execu-
tives from Microsoft and other challenge
sponsors spoke, and the kids visited an ex-
hibit on the art of video games.
As exciting as it was to win, it was espe-
cially exciting, the teams agreed, to be the
only girls to win for their games.
It feels really good because when I saw
that all five of us were the only girls out of
all of the winners. It felt really good, Lipp-
man said.
A lot of people came up to me and said,
Congratulations. Its so good to see that
youre the only girls, said Lapuerta. So,
we got a lot of compliments about that.
For winning, the girls each received a
laptop as well as educational software. Stu-
art Country Day School was also given
$2,000 for each winning team, which Testa
said will be used toward technology and
computer classes.
So is the school interested in entering
the challenge next year?
Definitely, said Testa.
They havent seen the last of us, she
said.

es helping others survive.
One thing is certain about

odyssey it's
subject to
change! Come

cal autobiog-
raphy called

Change with
