NJ School Test Scores: See How Your School Fared, Grades 6-8

Students across New Jersey are getting ready to for New Jersey's annual assessments in math, science and English language arts in April.

As they prepare for the 2026 testing of their knowledge in those subjects, here is a look at how students across the state fared on the assessments in 2025.

The tests aim to assess how well New Jersey students are meeting the Student Learning Standards set by the state Department of Education for each grade level. The assessments are used by the state to determine whether students need additional help and whether a school is meeting students' educational needs.

To be considered proficient, students need to score above 750 — on a scale of 650 to 850 — on math and English/language arts. The science scale is 100 to 300, with 200 points considered proficient, according to Pearson, the company that handled the testing last year.

Below are the mean scores — the averages — for English/language arts, math and science for grades 6 through 8 for every school that assessed students in New Jersey in the spring of 2025.

For comparison, the statewide mean scores for the Spring 2025 assessments are as follows:

Grade 6: English/language arts 751, Math 740

Grade 7: English/language arts 754, Math 740

Grade 8: English/language arts 755, Math 720, Science 166.

The chart is searchable by school and by district.
