PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers)

PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers) is a standardized testing system designed to evaluate students’ understanding of key skills in subjects like math and English language arts. Developed by a consortium of states, it aims to ensure students are prepared for college, careers, and lifelong learning by measuring their mastery of critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills. The assessments help educators identify areas where students excel or need additional support, informing instruction and curriculum development to better prepare students for future success.
