THE RECORD
New Jersey education officials released statewide scores today from new state exams given last spring to students in grades 3 to 11 in math and English.
The scores show whether students met expectations for their grade level on the tests, known as PARCC. Students were scored on a scale from 1 to 5 in math and English; those with a 4 or a 5 are considered to be meeting expectations.
PARCC stands for Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, which is the group of states that developed the tests. Experts say the exams are more rigorous than previous tests and a better measure of whether students are prepared for college.
