Congratulations to our students, teachers, and administrators for their continued efforts towards achieving academic success in the classroom and on the PSSA.
Recently received reports indicate that Central Cambria School District has met the targets for Performance, Participation, Attendance, and Graduation to achieve Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for the 2010/2011 school year! The PA state goals for this school year (2010-11) are 67% of students scoring at Proficient or higher in Mathematics and 72% of students scoring at Proficient or higher in Reading.
The Pennsylvania Department of Education uses the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) to determine AYP performance. As measured by the PSSA, students' scores fall into one of four performance levels:
• Advanced (highest)
• Proficient
• Basic
• Below Basic (lowest)
Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), as part of the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), holds LEAs accountable to students, parents, teachers, and the community. The law states that all students must reach the Proficient level or higher in Reading and Mathematics by 2014. More detailed information on district and building performance will be available in the coming weeks. Parents can expect Individual Student Reports to be sent home at the beginning of the new school year.
