Information about State-mandated Assessments

Start Strong

The purpose of the Start Strong assessments is to provide schools and districts with the opportunity to assess students' unique needs at the beginning of the school year. The tests will be given to students in Grades 4-8 in the content areas of English Language Arts and Mathematics, and Science for Grade 6. The assessments are computer-based, and provide an early indication of the level of support students may need based upon the prior year's standards. These will not replace the spring 2023 New Jersey Student Learning Assessments (NJSLA) statewide summative assessments.
