See How Montville Fared On The PARCC 2019 Exam

MONTVILLE, NJ - The results of the standardized tests formerly known as PARCC are in, revealing results for the 2018-2019 school year.

Patch put together the lists of districts, including percentages of students who met or didn't meet expectations. High school math was broken into Algebra I, Geometry and Algebra II.

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.

Here is how the local districts did out of the roughly 500 ranked:

Algebra I

• Montville ranked 108 with 77.5 percent of students meeting expectations.

Geometry

• Montville ranked 43 with 61.9 percent of students meeting expectations.

Algebra II

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.
