The data packed School Performance Profiles – easily found on paschoolperformance.org – are complied using data from standardized testing scores, attendance, graduation rates, year-over-year improvement and participation in Advanced Placement courses and attendance. Schools are ranked out of 100 points with some scores earning some extra points.

By clicking the school’s name, the public can see the detailed ratings of each school building in the district they select. The rating is on a scale of 0 to 100. Schools that score a 70 or higher are considered satisfactory.

Changes to the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) that factors into the performance profile scores caused some schools to have lower ratings than is years past.
