Standardized testing has become an important part of the educational lives of students, staff and parents in Jersey City.
Mission
The Department of Testing coordinates the state and federal assessments designed to measure student growth and progress and the extent to which they have mastered the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards.
Objective
The Department of Testing collaborates with district staff, elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools, to distribute, collate, analyze, and report information about student growth and progress. In Jersey City, this data is used to inform instruction, and help parents and the community understand the educational progress of our students and their schools.
