District Factor Group (DFG) definition
District Factor Group (DFG) means an indicator of the socioeconomic status of citizens in each New Jersey school district. The New Jersey Department of Education uses this measure for the comparative reporting of test results from New Jersey’s Statewide testing programs. The indicators use demographic variables from the most recent U.S. census data, and school districts are ranked and divided into alphabetical groups. The groups range from “A” (lowest socioeconomic districts) to “J” (highest socioeconomic districts).]
