The system -- in its second year -- is based primarily on standardized testing results, which is why many school admins are calling it "oversimplified," NJ.com reports.

The ratings were calculated by chronic absenteeism (10 percent), math proficiency (15 percent), English language arts proficiency (15 percent), progress toward English language proficiency (20 percent), English language arts growth (20 percent), math growth (20 percent).

The Edward H. Bryan School in Cresskill earned the highest score in the state of 97.47, with the Wyoming School in Millburn taking the second-highest score of 97.05. The Knollwood School in Fair Haven earned a 96.73.
