have you seen lee park ave lately and the type of people that are moving onto that street on the governments dime. Outrageous. these are the people now sending their children to these schools. It is sad how the township has gone down. feel sorry for the elderly and good people that are trying to now get out of the township

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. The PSSA is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Pennsylvania. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
