PARCC Results: NJ's Top School Districts, Matawan Results, And More

The district-by-district, school-by-school PARCC results have been released. Here’s a question you may be begging to ask:

How did my district do?

Patch put together top-10 lists for each grade (high school math was broken into Algebra I, Geometry and Algebra II), as well as links to all the scores for all the districts (see below).

Many districts in New Jersey performed in the ”Level 4” and ”Level 5” areas, which is between the scores of 750 and 850, the latter being a perfect score.

The PARCC tests have been a source of controversy for more than a year. David Hespe, New Jersey’s commissioner of education, said last year that more than half of New Jersey’s kids are not ready for college based on the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers test.

Patch focused on town school districts specifically; these lists do not include charter, vocational and magnet schools. Please note that many students opted out of taking the exam, though New Jersey hasn’t said how many.

Here is the list of districts, with their mean scale score:
