My son went to Trafford Middle School and had the best ears of his life. He attended Trafford Elementry and Middle School and was the best student there could be.

I came to Trafford when my children were in 2nd grade and kindergarten. The school was awesome on how they worked with the children to help them adapt to a new environment. The teachers, guidance counslor and the principal are all wonderful. Trafford is a wonderful school, they have kept in touch with me so I would know how the children were adapting . My kids have done wonderful there and now they are both in the middle school and doing very good.

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.
