About NJSLA/PARCC

The state defines proficiency as the percentage of students who scored a Level 4 or 5 (Met or Exceeded Expectations) on the PARCC/NJSLA assessment. PARCC/NJSLA assessments are scored on a scale of 1 to 5. Students performing at levels 4 and 5 have demonstrated readiness for the next grade level/course and, ultimately, are on track for college and careers.
