The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) is a consortium of states developing assessments to measure student achievement in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics for grades 3-8 and high school. The primary purpose of PARCC is to provide high quality assessments of students’ progression toward postsecondary readiness and success.

Listed below is the PARCC schedule for our third, fourth, and fifth graders. All PARCC testing will take place in the morning unless otherwise noted below.
