High School Graduation Assessment Requirements

1 High School Graduation Assessment Requirements Updated October 2016 On August 3, 2016, the State Board of Education approved updated state regulations f the high school graduation assessments requirements in both English language arts (ELA) mathematics f the Classes of 2016 through 2021, beyond. Students graduating as members of the classes of 2016 through 2019 can meet graduation assessment requirements through a variety of ways, including: (1) Achieving passing sces on certain PARCC assessments; (2) Achieving certain sces on alternative assessments such as the SAT, ACT, Accuplacer; (3) The submission by the district of a student ptfolio through the Departme cess. (Special Education students whose Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) specify an alternative way to demonstrate proficiencies will continue to follow the graduation requirements set fth in their IEPs.) The Class of 2020 can demonstrate graduation assessment proficiency through the same alternative means as those in the Classes of 2016 through 2019, provided that students in the Class of 2020 take all PARCC assessments associated with the high-school level courses f which they were eligible*, as of the effective date of when the amendments were adopted by the State Board of Education. F the Class of 2021 thereafter, students who have not demonstrated proficiency on the ELA 10 Algebra 1 assessments, have taken all PARCC assessments associated with the high-school level courses f which they were eligible*, can demonstrate graduation assessment proficiency by meeting the criteria of the ptfolio appeals process. It is imptant to note there has always been a system f students to demonstrate meet graduation requirements through an alternative assessment pathway to graduatio -year histy with a statewide assessment program. In this document, you will find charts containing the list of assessment requirements in both ELA mathematics f the high school graduation Classes of 2016 through * Eligible is defined as a student who is enrolled in a high-school level course f which there is a PARCC test. This includes all of these courses: Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, ELA 9, ELA 10, ELA 11.

Class of 2020 PARCC ELA Grade 9 (must take if eligible*) PARCC ELA Grade 10 (must take if eligible*) PARCC ELA Grade 11 (must take if eligible*) If passing sce is not met on at least one of the three, then the student can use the following SAT Reading ACT Reading ACT PLAN Reading** Accuplacer WritePlacer Accuplacer WritePlacer ESL PSAT10 Reading PSAT/NMSQT Reading PSAT10 Reading PSAT/NMSQT Reading ACT Aspire Reading** Meet the criteria of the NJDOE Ptfolio Appeal PARCC Algebra I (must take if eligible*) PARCC Geometry (must take if eligible*) PARCC Algebra II (must take if eligibile*) If passing sce is not met on at least one of the three, then the student can use the following SAT Math ACT ACT PLAN Math** Accuplacer Elementary Algebra PSAT10 Math PSAT/NMSQT Math PSAT10 Math PSAT/NMSQT Math ACT Aspire Math** Meet the criteria of the NJDOE Ptfolio Appeal Note: * - school level course f which there is a PARCC test.

5 Starting with the Class of 2021, students will need to meet the high school graduation assessment requirements by passing PARCC ELA Grade 10 PARCC Algebra I. If students are unable to pass one both of those assessments, they will be able to access the ptfolio appeals process to meet the assessment requirements, but only if they take all PARCC assessments associated with the high- school level courses f which they were eligible* (see chart below). Class of 2021 Beyond PARCC ELA Grade 10 (must take pass) If passing sce is not met on PARCC ELA Grade 10, then the student must have taken PARCC ELA Grade 9 PARCC ELA Grade 10 PARCC ELA Grade 11 befe they can Meet the criteria of the NJDOE Ptfolio Appeal PARCC Algebra I (must take pass) If passing sce is not met on PARCC Algebra 1, then the student must have taken PARCC Algebra I PARCC Geometry PARCC Algebra II (if eligible*) befe they can Meet the criteria of the NJDOE Ptfolio Appeal Note: * - school level course f which there is a PARCC test. This includes all of these courses: Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, ELA 9, ELA 10, ELA 11.
