PSSA Results Demonstrate Continued Commitment to Student Achievement

Congratulations to our students, teachers, and administrators for their continued efforts towards achieving academic success in the classroom and on the PSSA! The Pennsylvania System of School Assessment, also known as the PSSA, measures how well students have achieved according to Pennsylvania's academic standards. Recently received reports indicate that Central Cambria School District has met the targets to achieve Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for the 2011/2012 school year! The PA performance targets increased again this year to 78% of students scoring Proficient or higher in Mathematics and 81% of students scoring Proficient or higher in Reading. Schools can achieve AYP by meeting the performance target outright, or through a number of statistical calculations that demonstrate improvement in test performance and student achievement growth over time. 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 school year.
