“PSSA’s are a measure of individual achievement,” said guidance counselor Gloria Brzezinski. During testing week, grades 3-8 are also taking the PSSA’s with similar writing objectives.

“I think the PSSA’s are good practice for the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT),” said junior Bethany Limes. PSSA’s focus on reading, writing, math and science sections and are given over the course of high school students’ junior year. The EP school board recently changed district policy stating that a score of proficient or above must be reached in order for the class of 2009 and after to receive their diploma.

“I don’t think graduation should be based on just one test score,” said Ms. Brzezinski. Every junior is given the same type of test. Even students in English as a Second Language (ESL), Foreign Exchange Students and students in Special Education are required to take the PSSA’s.
