District Assessment Information
NJDOE High School Graduation Assessment Requirements
The New Jersey Student Learning Assessment for Science (NJSLA-S) measures student proficiency with the New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Science. This test is administered to all Juniors and replaces the End of Year Biology Test.
Early Graduation
Completion of the minimum credit requirements for graduation in less than four years is possible if planned early in the student’s high school career. A student should declare this intention prior to the end of sophomore year. The student's counselor will meet with the student and the parents and help in weighing the advantages and disadvantages of the decision. The final decision for a student’s early graduation rests with the principal after a close review of graduation credits.
Students must meet all graduation requirements, including the completion of 125 credits, in order to participate in the school’s graduation ceremony.
