RPS Ranks with Top Schools on PARCC Test
Roosevelt Public School ranked among the top elementary schools in New Jersey on the most recent administration of tests from the Partnership for Assessment of Reading and Readiness for College and Careers. PARCC tests in Math and Language Arts are given annually to students in grades 3 through 11, most recently in 2016.
RPS’s PARCC scores are generally not published by RPS or the State since the small number of students makes it difficult to maintain student privacy. But of the 556 elementary schools that were ranked for grades 3 through 5, RPS tied for first.
