Test scores

On the NJSLA — New Jersey’s state test — here is how students have scored over recent years and by grade. (New Jersey reports student-growth scores only through grade 8, so they are not available for high schools.)

English language arts: 96.7% met or exceeded expectations in 2024-25 (state 53%), down from 97.9% in 2021-22.

In each panel the flat line is the proficiency boundary: levels 4–5 (met or exceeded) fill the area above it, levels 1–3 below — so a smaller reported share in levels 4–5 makes the area above the line shrink (it isn’t a misleading upward slope). Light = level 1 (did not yet meet expectations), dark = level 5 (exceeded); the % marks the proficient share at the first and last points. The first set of panels follows each grade across the years; the second lines up aggregate grade results one grade higher each year. It approximates a class cohort, not linked individual students. Growth is the median Student Growth Percentile (50 = a typical year), reported only through grade 8. The NJSLA was not given in spring 2020 and was disrupted the next year.
