The 2016 PSSA Individual Student Score Reports have arrived and are being sent home with students in grades 4-9. This past spring, all Pennsylvania students in grades 3-8 participated in state assessments. This is the second year students were tested on the new PA Core Standards; however, a full transition to the Standards is expected to take several years. While we are very proud of our students’ overall achievement on the assessments, it is important to remember that standardized tests represent a snapshot in time and are only one measure of a student’s performance. If you have any questions, please contact your child’s principal or guidance counselor. There are also a variety of resources on the Pennsylvania Department of Education’s website (www.education.pa.gov).
