New Jersey Statewide Testing System: Minimum Basic Skills Test, 1986-87. State Summary.
New Jersey State Dept. of Education, Trenton.
This report consists of data tables summarizing test results statewide for students in grades 11 and 12 who took the New Jersey Minimum Basic Skills (MBS) test in March, 1987. The MBS assesses minimum skills in reading and mathematics. It is used as the graduation test for students who entered ninth grade prior to September 1985 and have not yet passed this test, and for students no longer enrolled who were denied a diploma in 1985 or 1986 because they did not meet the basic skills requirement. Results for each subject are compared to student performance in previous years. In addition, tables are included that compare student performance for District Factor Group (DFG), 56 Urban Districts, and Regional Curriculum Services Units. The report also contains district-by-district and school-by-school results grouped by DFG. The reading test was administered to 3,980 students in grade 11, 356 students in grade 12, and 31 returning students. The percent passing for each group was 81.5%, 68.5%, and 32.3%, respectively. The mathematics test was administered to 4,087 students in grade 11, 310 students in grade 12, and 24 returning students. The percent passing for each group was 85.1%, 79.0%, and 50.0%, respectively.
