This graph shows three data columns for the “% proficient” perfoming students of the New Jersey Grade Eight Proficiency Assessment (GEPA) for each year. The first column is the score for Old Turnpike School, the second is the district average, and the third is the state average. Each bar represents the total percentage of students who met the standard, but the bar is also divided to represent the students who scored at an advanced level.

GEPA or the Grade Eight Proficiency Assessment is given to all New Jersey public-schooled students in March of their eighth grade year. It is often known as the "preparation test" for the High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA), which has similar rules and information.

Together with the New Jersey Assessment of Skills and Knowledge (NJASK) administered in grades 3-7 and the HSPA (High School Proficiency Assessment) given to students in eleventh grade, the GEPA is part of a battery of tests used to assess student performance in New Jersey's public schools.

It consists of 3 major parts which are Science, Math, and Language Arts.
