Summary
District staff told the Woodbridge Township Board of Education that 99% of grade 11 students took the March 10–14 NJGPA administration; students who did not pass will be eligible for a retest in early October 2025 and for district intervention programs including high-impact tutoring and individualized learning plans.
Mr. Pastrino, a district staff member, presented results from the March 10–14 administration of the New Jersey state graduation assessment and told the Woodbridge Township Board of Education on July 17, 2025, that 99% of the district’s 11th-grade students participated.
The presentation noted the spring assessment is used to assess academic proficiency and graduation readiness. "This assessment was taken by 99 percent of our grade 11 students," Mr. Pastrino said. "Students who are unsuccessful during this administration of the NJGPA will be given the opportunity to retest in early October 2025."
The superintendent, Dr. Massimino, and Mr. Pastrino described how the district will use the results to determine eligibility for targeted supports, saying the district will offer high-impact tutoring, individualized learning plans and interventions through the district’s multi-tiered system of supports. "Additionally, the school district will utilize these results to offer the following interventions: the eligibility for the high impact tutoring program, potential individualized learning plans, evaluation using our multi tiered system of supports," Mr. Pastrino said.
Board members were told families with questions should contact guidance departments or district content supervisors through the superintendent’s office for details about proficiency standards and testing-related concerns.
No formal board action on assessment policy or program funding was taken at the meeting; the presentation was informational. The district indicated the retest will be scheduled in early October 2025 and families will be notified about intervention options.
District officials did not provide districtwide pass/fail percentages in the public presentation beyond the participation rate, and they did not announce new funding allocations for the tutoring programs at the meeting.
