What is PARCC?

PARCC stands for the "Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers" and is the collaboration of states and district to create a set of assessments that measure if students are ready for college and career. 

​

PARCC tests the student's ability to:

  • Master Curriculum Content

  • Think Critically

  • Problem Solve

  • Communicate Point of View

​

PARCC tests coincide with the Common Core State Standards. Students in grade 3-8, and high school will take the English/Language Art Literacy assessment and Mathematics assessment.
