This cruise port, the first to be built in New Jersey in 40 years, provides the perfect setting to the beginning or end of any voyage. From the vantage point of the deck, you can look out over the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, the Statue of Liberty, New York Harbor and all of lower Manhattan.
The COMPASS assessment is not timed; you can work at your own pace. Every student is different, but the average time is about 45 minutes for the English and 45 minutes for the math. Together, the average time is about 1.5 to 2 hours.
The early years assessment program uses Performance Indicators in Primary Schools (PIPS) to assess early reading, phonics and numeracy skills of students in their first year of school. There are two assessments, with the first occurring within the first two weeks of school and the first two weeks of term four.
