New Jersey High School Graduation Requirement
*On June 5, 2019, the New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) updated the high school graduation assessment requirements in both
English Language Arts/Literacy (ELA) and mathematics for the Classes of 2019 through 2022, pursuant to an amended Consent Order from the
Appellate Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey.
Important Update for Class of 2020: Governor Murphy signed Executive Order 117 on April 7, 2020 to address the continued threat
of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) to our school communities and the resulting school closures.
The Executive Order waives the graduation assessment requirement for any twelfth-grade student who is expected to graduate in the class of
2020 but, as of March 18, 2020, had not yet met the graduation assessment requirement. Students in the class of 2020 who have not yet met
the assessment requirement must still meet all the other State and local graduation requirements, including but not limited to credit,
curriculum, and attendance requirements.
The Class of 2021 and 2022
The high school assessment graduation requirements that are in place for the Classes of 2021 and 2022 are:
In English Language Arts/Literacy, students must demonstrate proficiency:
On NJSLA/PARCC ELA 10
By meeting the designated cut score on an alternative assessment such as other high school-level NJSLA/PARCC assessments, the SAT,
ACT, or ACCUPLACER as defined in the chart below
By submitting, through the district, a student portfolio appeals to the New Jersey Department of Education.
In mathematics, students must demonstrate proficiency:
On NJSLA/PARCC Algebra I
By meeting the designated cut score on an alternative assessment such as other high school-level NJSLA/PARCC assessments, the SAT,
ACT, or ACCUPLACER as defined in the chart below
