While detailed, the PPS is still incomplete, applying only to schools that have an 11th. Schools with other configurations, K-8, for instance, will receive their first PPS score next year.
State Secretary of Education Pedro Rivera cautioned that it’s only one aspect of school evaluation.
“While SPP scores can be a useful tool in assessing school performance, the Department is engaged in conversations with multiple stakeholders to consider comprehensive measures in evaluating schools.”
Schools may also earn extra points beyond the 100 point scoring system for those students who have earned advanced scores on the state, industry, and Advanced Placement/International Baccalaureate exams.
The PDE is currently working with Governor Tom Wolf to identify additional, more holistic measures for evaluating students and schools.
The Performance Profiles are available at https://paschoolperformance.org/
The latest Keystone test scores can be found on the PDE website https://www.education.pa.gov under K-12, Assessments and Accountability.
