There is no mandatory statewide test for grades 1 and 2. For these grades UHCS administers the New Jersey Proficiency Assessment of State Standards (NJ PASS), a criterion-referenced test aligned to the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards produced and scored by Houghton-Mifflin Harcourt. The tests are administered at the same time as the NJASK.

Overall, in grades 1 and 2, 77% of students were proficient or advanced in language arts literacy, a 1% drop from last year that is statistically insignificant. In mathematics, 79% were proficient or advanced in math, a 3% drop from last year that is statistically insignificant.  These high scores were maintained despite a 20% increase in student enrollment in grades 1 and 2, all of whom were new to the school and a majority of whom entered below grade level. Thus, in grades 1 and 2, the school exceeded its stated goals of 75% proficiency in language arts literacy and in math. A full breakdown is provided below:
