PSSA results were released today. As you are aware, throughout the Commonwealth the scores have dropped significantly, specifically in the area of mathematics. This is due to the change in the assessment, which is aligned to the new PA Core Standards.
This year’s scores will be used as a baseline for future assessments. It is important to know as we move forward our aim is not to teach to the test. Our goal is to continue aligning curriculum to address the PA Core Standards and offering professional development so we will have the tools necessary to enhance instruction.
Please remain positive and continue to lead our students through this educational journey, focusing on the whole child, which includes:
