School Performance Profiles Released; Schuylkill County Schools Grade Comparison

On Thursday, the acting Secretary of Education, Carolyn Dumaresq, announced the results of the 2013-14 School Performance Profile via www.paschoolperformance.org


"The School Performance Profile provides the public with detailed information of the academic performance of public schools; satifies requirements of Pennsylvania's approved federal "No Child Left Behind" waiver; and is one component of the state's new education evaluation system.

The profile does not only rely on results of the statewide assessments but it also incorporates other measures of student achievement, including year-to-year student academic growth; graduation, attendance and promotion rates; and increasing the achievement of all students, including historically underperforming students, such as English language learners and economically disadvantaged students." as stated in a press release from the Department of Education.
