Of course, other measures are reviewed when determining the success of our students. Behavioral patterns, class participation, class- room work and homework are just a few of the ways we review our students’ progress and provide instruction based on this review so that they can succeed.
The Pennsylvania System of School Assess- ment (PSSA) is an important tool in how we evaluate our students and the district overall. This annual report will highlight our continued achievement in the PSSA but also the multitude of other measures important to student success.
