"Every year, more than half a million children across the Commonwealth take the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) in the subjects of reading, math and writing. The PSSA is used to determine how well our children are learning at certain grade levels."

Sometimes understanding assessment tests can be difficult. The Pennsylvania Department of Education has a web site that is very helpful to parents. Please use the link to "Parent's Guide to Understanding the PSSA".

If you have any further questions, please call the Guidance Office.
