naep results for NJ
The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is administered annually in New Jersey. However, due to our state's broad ethnic and socioeconomic diversity, state-specific results are only disseminated in the odd assessment years. The complete body of results from NAEP is referred to as the "Nation's Report Card" because it compares samples of students from each state. Because New Jersey reflects the demographic make-up of the nation as a whole, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) includes New Jersey students in each year's NAEP administration.

njsla/njgpa
The New Jersey Student Learning Assessments (NJSLA) are statewide assessments that assess students’ progress toward the New Jersey Student Learning Standards in English Language Arts (ELA), mathematics, and science. The New Jersey Graduation Proficiency Assessment (NJGPA) consists of an ELA and a mathematics component to be administered to students in grade 11 for the purpose of meeting the state graduation assessment requirement. ELA assessments will focus on writing effectively when analyzing text. Mathematics assessments will focus on applying skills and concepts and understanding multi-step problems that require abstract reasoning and modeling real-world problems, precision, perseverance, and strategic use of tools. Science assessments will focus on applying scientific concepts and practices within the domains of Earth & space, life, and physical science. Students will demonstrate their acquired skills and knowledge by answering selected-response items, constructed response items and technology-enhanced questions.
