New Jersey Statewide Testing System: 1986-87 High School Proficiency Test. State Summary, Grade 10.
New Jersey State Dept. of Education, Trenton.
This report summarizes test results statewide for tenth-grade students who took the New Jersey High School Proficiency Test (HSPT) in April, 1987. The HSPT consists of reading, writing, and mathematics sections, and must be passed as one of the requirements for a high school diploma. The tenth-grade students who were tested consisted of students who previously did not pass one or more sections of the test, and newly-enrolled tenth graders who did not attend a New Jersey public school as ninth graders. Results for each subject are presented, along with tables that show student performance for District Factor Group (DFG), 56 Urban Districts, and Regional Curriculum Services Units. Finally, the report contains district-by-district and school-by-school results grouped by DFG. Because 1987 was the first year the HSPT was administered to tenth graders, comparison cannot be made with performance from previous years. The percent passing for all tenth-grade students tested was 78.6% in reading, 64.6% in mathematics, and 73.5% in writing. Statewide, the percent of tenth-grade students tested who passed all three sections of the test was 59.2%. (KSA)
