Standardized Testing Scores

PJA students excel on standardized tests. Students take the Comprehensive Testing Program (CTP) IV from the national Educational Records Bureau (ERB) assessments in grades 4, 6, and 7 and the Oregon Statewide assessments in grades 3, 5, and 8.

According to recent ERB test scores:

More than 50% of PJA's 8th grade students in the Class of 2009, scored in the 90^th percentile or higher in reading and math compared with 8^th grade students in all schools nationally

One-third of the eighth grade Class of 2008 scored above the 97th percentile on national standardized testing.
Overall, more than 50% of PJA students scored above the 85th percentile.
