Cove Road Elementary Has 37% Fail Rate in Language Testing

Across New Jersey, testing scores were up this year among standardized tests such as the HSPA and NJAsk, as new standards were enacted in public schools.

According to data compiled by The Star Ledger, test scores rose among third through eighth graders and were even better among high school students.

This year Raritan High School was given a 'D' grade by Inside Jersey magazine for its 2011-2012 scores. That grade combined HSPA and SAT scores.

Standardized testing in New Jersey combined new Common Core State Standards this year, and state education officials said the test was actually harder. By 2015, the new PARCC test will be entirely digital.

Each school received a percentage of failing tests in the district: however Cove Road had the highest failing percentage; specifically in language arts. 

Date compiled from The Star Ledger can be found online, searchable by each school. (Note: Not every grade participates in science testing).
