Say you’re moving into western Pennsylvania and you want to know how the school in one town compares academically to others in the district or even one in a neighboring district.
The Pennsylvania Department of Education has a tool that will let you do that.
On Nov. 4, the DOE released its interactive School Performance Profiles report. It includes the latest available SAT, ACT, PSSA and Keystone Exam results for schools in all of Pennsylvania’s 500 school districts.
A school’s SSP score also includes data on attendance and graduation and promotion rates, as well as evaluations on efforts to improve achievement gaps for minority students.
