This meeting built on the  CSforAll  movement, which after decades of reports recommending high school CS education for all US students, is finally making headway. Federal agencies and STEM and

Today's rating is by the New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) and paints a sobering picture of Hoboken High School, Hoboken Middle School, Connors Elementary, and Wallace Elementary. -Dr. Petrosino New Jersey education officials have for the first time assigned a score of 1 to 100 to each of the state's more than 2,000 public schools. Burying the simplified scores was intentional, said Pete Shulman, a former assistant education commissioner under Gov. Chris Christie. The new ratings consider important factors the state uses to determine which schools need the most help (a federal requirement), but they don't capture the complete picture of a school, Shulman said. He compared the scores to a letter grade at the top of a student'
