New Jersey A3211 mandates students pass a civics test identical to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services test to graduate high school.

New Jersey A3211 requires students to pass a test identical to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services civics test as part of high school graduation requirements. Students must first take the test in ninth grade, and those who do not pass must retake it each subsequent school year until they achieve a passing score. The board of education will document on the student's high school transcript that they have successfully completed the test. This bill aims to ensure students demonstrate a foundational understanding of U.S. civics before graduating.
