PA Department of Education Releases 2017 PSSA and Keystone scores

From PDE:

2017 PSSA: Scores in English Language Arts and mathematics saw slight increases over last year, with consistent gains in English Language Arts for each of the past three years among 3rd grade scores across all subgroups.

2017 Keystone Exams: For first-time test-takers, scores  remained relatively flat over last year’s scores, but there was a noticeable reduction in retests administered. In Algebra I, this equates to nearly 7,000 fewer retests, nearly 6,000 fewer in Biology, and nearly 3,000 fewer in Literature. Students’ best scores are “banked” and reported in statewide data when the student is in 11th grade. Banked grade 11 scores showed a decrease in all three subject areas.
