SPECIAL NOTICE

On September 8, 2021, the State Board of Education adopted graduation assessment requirements for the classes of 2023, 2024, and 2025. The new regulations require all students to demonstrate proficiency by achieving a passing score on the English language arts (ELA) and mathematics components of the New Jersey Graduation Proficiency Assessment (NJGPA). Students who complete the NJGPA but do not receive a passing score will have the opportunity to retake the NJSGPA in the following summer or fall, utilize the menu of alternative assessments, or complete a portfolio appeal.

For more information, please visit the NJ Department of Education website: https://www.state.nj.us/education/assessment/requirements/

SAT & PSAT Information

The SAT is a standardized test that colleges use to evaluate applicants' college preparedness. Over two million students take the SAT each year. It is designed to measure a student's ability to understand and process elements in three subjects: reading, writing, and math.

SAT scores are both based on an objective score and the student's performance relative to other test-takers, and have proven to be an indicator of collegiate success.

Most universities in the United States require scores from the SAT or ACT, so it's important to take one of these standardized tests.

Our school offers the PSAT for free, which is a test that gives students a taste of what taking the SAT will be like.
