Three charged with Mt. Laurel robberies The following information is being released jointly by Burlington County Prosecutor Robert D. Bernardi, Delran Police Chief Chief Alfonso Parente, Jr., Florence Police Chief Alvin Scully and Mount Mount Laurel Police Chief Dennis Cribben:

“Investigators were greatly assisted in this case by an alert citizen who recognized that something was not quite right and took the time to call Florence police,” Bernardi said. “This type of help is extremely valuable to law enforcement, and I encourage all

Three Cinnaminson residents have been charged with the armed robberies of the 7-Eleven convenient conveni ent store in the 1100 block of Route 73 in Mt. Laurel on Jan. 16, and the Route 130 Food Mart in the 2900 block of Route 130 North in Delran on Jan. 26. A 28-year old female and a 28year-old male, male, both of Kelso Lane in Cinnaminson, and a 26-yearold male of Georgetown Road Road in Cinnaminson, were charged with armed robbery and conspiracy for the Jan. 16 holdup.

The 28-year-old male had a first appearance last week in Burlington County Superior Court before the Honorable Susan L. Claypoole, who set his bail at $350,000.

concerned citizen called to report a suspicious vehicle parked in the area of Wallace Avenue and Seventh Street. A search of the vehicle yielded a ski mask, a handgun and a small amount of suspected heroin. The investigation revealed that the male suspects were preparing to rob a Florence liquor store when they were apprehended. As a result, the male suspects were charged with conspiracy to commit armed robbery and possession of a weapon for an unlawunlawful purpose. The 28-year-old male was additionally charged with certain persons not to have weapons. Further investigation uncovered the participation of the female suspect in the armed robberies last month.

10 THE MT. LAUREL SUN — FEBRUARY 26–MARCH 4, 2014

LRHSD performs higher than average on state report Administrators in the Lenape Regional High School District received the 2014 New Jersey School Performance Reports for the Lenape, Shawnee, Cherokee and Seneca high schools.

“Overall we are very pleased with the report, which accurately reflects the district’s strengths as a high-achieving district,” said Superintendent of Schools Carol Birnbohm. “The district contin-

ues to have higher than average graduation and post-secondary enrollment rates as well as SAT scores. Additionally, we’ve addressed areas of improveme improvement nt from the 2013 report.”

all four schools in the Lenape Regional High School District met 100 percent of the benchmarks benchmarks for graduation and post-secondary performance. The district’s 2012-2013 average

ing a new requirement that all college prep students take the PSAT at least once each year in grades nine, 10 and 11 beginning this school year,” Birnbohm said. According to Birnbohm, the

The NJ School Performance Reports evaluate school performance in three key areas: academic performance, graduation and post-secondary performance and college and career readiness. In the performance area of academic achievement, achievement, two of the four high schools met 100 percent of the state Department Department of Education targets. Cherokee High School met 92 percent and Seneca High School met 83 percent of the of the NJDOE targets. Both Cherokee and Seneca missed one indicator of success on the High School Proficiency Assessment

graduation rate was 95.83 percent, an increase from the 20112012 average of of 95.3 percent. This was reflected in this year’s performance reports, with the graduation rates for all of the LRHSD high schools exceeding 94 percent, well above the statewide target of 75 percent. According to the National Student Clearinghouse, the district’s post-secondary enrollment enrollment rate 16 16 months after high school is 84 percent, an increase increase of more than 5 percent compared to last year’s report. “The increase in post-second-

district is dedicating more time and resources to the PSATs at no additional cost. “We anticipate the results of this proactive proprogram will be reflected in next year’s performance reports,” she said. According to Birnbohm, the low percentage of students taking AP tests reflects the autonomy the district allows its AP students and is not a true indication of district’s students' participation in AP coursework. "Lenape Regional High School District students can select from 18 AP courses. We encourage our

for the subgroup students with disabilities. With one of the highest graduation rates among districts in Burlington County and statewide,

ary enrollment demonstrates our commitment in ensuring our students are prepared for two graduations – high school and college,” Birnbohm said. Another indicator indicator of the district’s graduates’ success in college is high average SAT scores, which held steady at 1550 for all four high schools in a five-year analysis from 2009 through 2013. According to the College Board, a student with an SAT SAT score of 1550 or higher is more likely to get a B minus freshmen year year of college, helping to put them on a path to graduate from college.

students to select courses based on their interests and allow them to determine which AP tests they need to take based on their college and career goals,” Birnbohm said. “It’s a reflection of our mission to encourage our students to take advantage of every opportunity while in high school to learn and excel in a wide range of  fields.” The LRHSD also offers the popular dual enrollment college accelerated program in partnership with Burlington County College, enabling students to earn college credits while taking district

For a second year, the four schools did not meet two high key benchmarks that, according to the Performance Reports, are indicators of colleg e and career readiness – the percentage of students participating in PSAT and the percentage of students taking at least one advanced placement or international baccalaureate test in English, math, social studies or science. "We addressed our low participation in the PSATs by establish-

courses. Many students elect to earn CAP credits, rather than take an AP exam. Nearly 1,300 students from all four schools participated in the CAP program in 2012-2013. According to Birnbohm, the state Department of Education has indicated that dual enrollment courses, such as Lenape Regional High School District’s CAP program, may be included in future performance reports, in addition to AP and IB courses.
