New Jersey Graduation Proficiency Assessment (NJGPA) Individual Score Report - Spring 2024

 

New Jersey Graduation Proficiency Assessment
(NJGPA)
Individual Score Report
Spring 2024


In the spring, your student participated in the New Jersey Graduation Proficiency Assessment (NJGPA) administration to measure the extent to which your student is graduation ready in English language arts (ELA) and mathematics. The ELA component of the NJGPA assesses student graduation readiness based on grade 10 standards. The mathematics component of the NJGPA assesses student graduation readiness based on Algebra I and Geometry standards.

The NJGPA is required to be administered to students in grade 11 as part of the graduation assessment requirements adopted by the State Board of Education on September 8, 2021. A minimum score of 725 is required for each component (ELA and mathematics) of the NJGPA and was adopted by the State Board of Education on May 3, 2023. Graduation readiness is reported separately for each content component.

Your student’s NJGPA Individual Student Report (ISR) will be mailed home on Thursday, July 11, 2024 and you should receive the report shortly thereafter. The report will also be available in the New Jersey Parent Portal at                                nj-results.pearsonaccessnext.com on or by June 17, 2024. If this is the first time you will be accessing the online portal, you must create an account using the unique claim code that is located on your student’s paper ISR. Additional information about the NJGPA, including practice tests, can be found on the New Jersey Assessments Resource Center at nj.mypearsonsupport.com under NJGPA.
