May Mathematics Department Meeting
As we have during the past few years, a celebration will take place during the May 17th department meeting. Due to the construction at the Cherry Blossom Center in the park and the risk of bad weather, the location will be indoors. The people with seasonal allergies can now join us.

NJGPA Cut Score Set at 725!
NJGPA Cut Score Set at 725!
The state board of education voted Wednesday, May 3, 2023 to lower by 25 points the passing score for juniors taking the state’s high school graduation test. That returns the cut-score from 750 to the state Department of Education’s original recommendation of 725.
This is good news for the current juniors as it gives a greater number of them a better chance of passing. Likewise, the cut scores for the PSAT (440 to 420; 22 to 21) and Accuplacer (255 to 250) have also changed to reflect the cut scores equivalent to the 725. The NJGPA scores should be released soon now that the cut score debate has been settled at the state level.
