Testing
Academic assessment is absolutely essential to a strong educational program. The results of these tests provide valid and reliable data needed to evaluate the effectiveness of your educational program. The required testing for all students consists of:
-
Pennsylvania State School Assessment Tests (PSSA) as established by the Legislature will be administered at the required time and grade levels.
-
Final exams will be administered at the end of each school term in the following academic areas: English, Mathematics, Science, Foreign Languages, and Social Studies. The grade for each of these tests will appear as the Final Exam grade on the student report card and will be equivalent to a nine-week grade in computing the final grade for each course.
RESOURCES FOR YOU:
As of 2015, the SAT and ACT will take on a new testing structure.
