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

The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) is an educational assessment system designed to evaluate students' readiness for college and future careers. Developed by a consortium of states, PARCC aims to provide standardized tests in mathematics and English language arts for students in grades 3-11. These assessments focus on critical thinking, problem-solving, and real-world applications, ensuring that students are prepared for academic and professional challenges. By measuring student progress and skills, PARCC helps educators identify areas for improvement and supports informed decision-making in education.
