    NJ STATE TESTING REQUIREMENTS FOR HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION

    For the Class of 2021 and thereafter, students must demonstrate proficiency on the ELA 10 and Algebra 1 assessments to meet graduation requirements.
    These students must  participate in every PARCC assessment each year and have a valid score (meaning a student must not only “take”  the PARCC but must also  do his/her best)
