RATIONALE FOR RAISING BENCHMARKS FOR
PROFICIENCYThe State of New Jersey has changed
the cutoff to redefine the expectations for
determining proficiency. One result of raising
the achievement standards is that more students
may fall into the partially proficient
category.Raising the standards at these
grades will increase the likelihood that students
receive the assistance and intervention they need
to succeed in high school before they enter ninth
grade.-Lucille DavyNJ Dept. of Ed.
