All hybrid preschool and kindergarten students will get a name tag on their first in-person day. Please check to make sure the information is correct, and contact the main office if it is not.

What is the purpose of the NJSLA?

The primary purpose of the Student Learning Assessments (NJSLA) is to provide high-quality assessments to measure students' progress toward college and career readiness. The Spring 2019 NJSLA assessments were administered to students in grade 3 through high school. English Language Arts (ELA) assessments focused on reading and comprehending a range of sufficiently complex texts independently and writing effectively when analyzing text. Mathematics assessments focused on applying skills and concepts, understanding multi-step problems that require abstract reasoning, and modeling real-world problems with precision, perseverance, and strategic use of tools. In both content areas, students also demonstrated their acquired skills and knowledge by answering selected-response items and constructed response items.

How to help students who are behind?

Ask the school what it’s doing to help students who are behind. Understand what on-track learning looks like, and explore higher-performing schools in your area to find the best opportunities for your child to succeed.

What does "average progress with low test scores" mean?

Average progress with low test scores means... that students are starting at a low point but keeping up with their peers.

What is Claim your school profile?

Claim your school’s profile to edit general information and share what makes your school unique.
