See Where Bridgewater-Raritan Ranked On The PARCC 2019 Test

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — The results are in! Check to see how Bridgewater-Raritan Regional School District did on the 2019 PARCC test.

Patch put together the rankings, from top to bottom, for each grade terms of their scores (high school math was broken into Algebra I, Geometry and Algebra II).

Patch also put together the lists of districts and ranked them based on the percentages of students who met or didn't meet expectations. Levels four and five are considered meeting or exceeding expectations, while "Level 1" means they didn't.

Just like the past PARCC tests, students met expectations if they performed in the "Level 4" and "Level 5" areas, which is between the scores of 750 and 850, the latter being a perfect score.

PARCC tests have been a source of controversy for years, and Gov. Phil Murphy has talked for two years about finding replacements for the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers test.

The New Jersey Student Learning Assessment (NJSLA) uses the same computer-based platform used for PARCC and draws on the same bank of test questions. Indeed, the NJSLA results in English and math are comparable to the previous years' PARCC results.

However, the biggest difference between this assessment and PARCC is that it's now approximately 25 percent shorter and the number of questions has been reduced.
