Measuring College and Career Readiness
PARCC RESULTS: YEAR ONE
LINDENWOLD PUBLIC SCHOOLSDECEMBER 14, 2015
BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT
“New Jersey will educate all students to prepare them to lead productive, fulfilling lives. Through a public education system that is seamlessly aligned from pre-school to college, students will gain the requisite academic knowledge and technical and critical thinking skills for life and work in the 21st century.”
NJDOE VISION FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION
2009: New Jersey adopted h igher course tak ing requ i rements for a l l s tudents .
2010: New Jersey adopted the Common Core State Standards in Eng l ish Language Ar ts and Mathemat ics .
RAISING STANDARDS
College and Career Ready Standards
“Align New Jersey high school standards and graduation requirements to college and workforce entry requirements.” – NJ High School Redesign Steering Committee (HSRSC - 2008)
New Jersey has adopted standards that “are widely recognized as appropriate standards for college and career readiness.” - College and Career Ready Taskforce (CCRT - 2012)
NEXT STEPS:REPLACE HSPA
“[T]he New Jersey High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA) does not measure college or work readiness…Further, New Jersey colleges and universities do not use scores from the HSPA for admissions or placement, because the test does not reflect postsecondary placement requirements.” (HSRS - 2008)
2015: New Jersey adopted the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for Co l lege and Careers (PARCC) assessments in Engl i sh Language Ar ts /L i teracy and Mathemat ics .
IMPROVINGSTUDENTASSESSMENT
A System of Aligned Assessments
“Replace HSPA with a series of end of course assessments in math… and a proficiency exam in language arts literacy that are aligned with the expectations of higher education and the workplace.” (HSRSC - 2008)
Current tests should be “replaced with a system of end-of-course assessments.” (CCRT - 2012)
A NEW ASSESSMENT: PARCC
In 2015, New Jersey adopted the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) to replace HSPA and previous assessments in the elementary and middle school in language arts and mathematics.
Students took PARCC English Language Arts and Literacy Assessments (ELA/L) in grades 3 – 11.
Students took PARCC Mathematics Assessments in grades 3 – 8 and End of Course Assessments in Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II.

NEW JERSEY’S 2015 PARCC OUTCOMES
MATHEMATICS
* Note: Approximately 30,000 New Jersey students participated in the PARCC Algebra I assessment while in middle school. Thus, PARCC Math 8 outcomes are not representative of grade 8 performance as a whole.
Note: Numbers may not sum to 100% due to rounding.

* Based on an overall 84% match rate at a student-level between NJSMART course roster collection and PARCC Algebra I assessment data.
Looking for mismatches between outcomes and expectations is an important first step, i.e., roughly 18% of freshman met or exceeded expectations in PARCC Algebra I yet 67% received Cs or better in their course.
