I am a 7 year veteran teacher at JDB and I love it! The kids can sometimes be a challenge, but we have an extremely dedicated and supportive staff that believes in the children and their success in the future. The Julia de Burgos staff is a family & is dedicated to providing the best education possible to its children

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.
