Carmichaels Area School Board hears PSSA report
CARMICHAELS – Carmichaels Area School Board directors learned Thursday that the district saw improvement in the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) test.
However, Superintendent Craig Baily said one subgroup in the high school fell short, resulting in corrective action being taken.
The mandated state test is to measure writing, math, science and reading achievement of students in grades 3 through 8 and 11.
Baily said the elementary school met Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). The secondary group failed to meet AYP because an “economically disadvantaged” subgroup did not receive high enough math scores.
