New Jersey Student Learning Assessments
Students in grades 3 - 8 will take state assessments in English Language Arts and Mathematics.  For students in grades 9 - 12, the state tests are administered according to courses taken by the student.  Students also take Science tests once in elementary school, once in middle school, and once in high school.

These state tests were formerly known as "PARCC," but the state has ended its participation in that consortium.  Here is the statement from the NJDOE from last year:

The State of New Jersey has ended its membership of the interstate consortium that produced the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) assessments. While the online platform will remain the same, the state’s mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) assessments will no longer be called Partnership for Assessment of College and Career Readiness (PARCC). The statewide assessments for ELA and mathematics will be called: 

• New Jersey Student Learning Assessments-ELA (NJSLA-ELA) 

• New Jersey Student Learning Assessment-Mathematics (NJSLA-M)  

Recent information on the state testing is available at:

ASVAB: 
The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is the test of record for students interested in joining the military.  The test is coordinated by the JCHS Guidance office.  For more information, please contact the JCHS Guidance Office.
