My daughter is in the prek program, I'm on the PTA and a volunteer in my daughters class a lot. I dont know the area well due to moving to the state over the summer but I simply LOVE my daughters teachers. These ladies really care about their jobs and the students. My daughter cant wait to go to school and really is learning a lot. In other states my son had a lot of trouble with teachers that worked their shift and left but these teachers give their numbers and emails to contact when needed. When my daughter got sick I emailed the teacher so she could be on the look out if anyone else might be getting it. I dont care what the rating was, this school is wonderful and the PTA do a lot to help these families and get them involved in their childs learning.

I have sent both of my dhildren thru this school. The oldest one went there 6 years ago, and my youngest one is a first grader there now. I love this school and the teachers that teach there. I have always had great things to say and my children feel the same way. Keep up the good work Homeville teachers, and students.

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.
