As Parents of a child at Sterwart School we could ask for not a better school. Our son was having some problems in reading and the 'Sterwart Family' took him right under their wing. We are very pleased to have a great school like this. Every one at the school is wonderful. The Dalrymple family is very thankfull.

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.
