It's alright, but don't think it's too great. It's a decent school district; some of the teachers care about your education and some don't the attitude of this school and the teachers is "We'll let you do whatever you want, but when it's due, it has to be ready" A TON of students cut themselves and drugs were found there yesterday...

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Pennsylvania used the Pennsylvania System of State Assessments (PSSA) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 11 in math and reading, in grades 5, 8 and 11 in writing, and in grades 4, 8 and 11 in science. The results for reading, writing, science and math are displayed on GreatSchools profiles.
