2016PARCC RESULTS:

Measuring College and Career Readiness

In 2015, New Jersey adopted the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) to replace HSPA and previous assessments in the elementary and middle school in language arts and mathematics.

Students took PARCC English Language Arts and Literacy Assessments (ELA/L) in grades 3 – 11.

Students took PARCC Mathematics Assessments in grades 3 – 8 and End of Course Assessments in Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II.

PARCC uses FIVE performance levels that delineate

the knowledge, skills, and practices students are able

to demonstrate:
