Moorestown Students Net High Scores On English PARCC Testing

MOORESTOWN, NJ — Students in the Moorestown Public School District post consistently high grades when it comes to the English portion of PARCC testing, although grades do seem to be the lowest for those taking the test for the final time.

The district-by-district, school-by-school PARCC results have been released. In Grades 3-9, students performed in the "Level 4" and "Level 5" areas, which is between the scores of 750 and 850, the latter being a perfect score.

But students in 10th and 11th grades post scores slightly lower than that, although not by much. It is important to note also that many students opted out of taking the exam, though New Jersey hasn't said how many.

The break down for the English scores on the PARCC testing for Moorestown Public School students can be found below:

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