Testing & Assessment

Each year, the district standardized testing program, including measures of readiness for learning, academic achievement, and aptitudes, is administered at appropriate grade levels. The New Jersey Assessment of Skills and Knowledge (NJ ASK 5) and an ability test are administered in the spring of each year in the fifth grade. Individual student performance profiles are distributed to parents for all district assessments. Student results may be discussed in the regularly scheduled parent/teacher conference or, by appointment, with the principal.

Assessment results provide information to:

  1. parents for understanding the achievement levels of their children,

  2. teachers for planning instructional programs for both total classes and for individual students within their classes,

  3. administrators and supervisors for analyzing, evaluating, and revising district-wide curricula and in planning instructional programs to comply with the state requirements, and

  4. the Board of Education and community members to remain informed of the achievement levels of elementary school students.
