NJSLA Results-Spring 2019 

All students in Grades 5 and 8 must be administered the New Jersey Student Learning Assessment-Science (NJSLA-S), which has replaced the New Jersey Assessment of Skills and Knowledge (NJASK) Science Assessment in Grades 4 and 8.  

 

The test items focus on the standards of the grade band for which the assessment is developed:

All NJSLA-S units are computer-based with paper-based options for students with disabilities.  An Individual Student Report (ISR) for science will be mailed home the following school year, after the results are received by the district.  The ISRs provide your child's data for science.  A written explanation indicates where your child is doing well and where he or she may need additional help.  The report also includes charts and graphics that visually show how well your child is performing in relation to the New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Science (NJSLS-Science) and how your child's performance compares to other students in his or her school, district, and state.   

 

To further assist parents/guardians, the NJDOE has developed a Score Report Interpretation Guide for science.  For additional information and resources to help support your child, visit the NJSLA-S website.
