The PSSA's are the Pennsylvania state mandated exam for students in grades 3-8 and grade 11. PSSA stands for Pennysylvia System of School Assessment.

Every public school student (including cyber and charter schools) will take the PSSA's in grades 3-8 and grade 11, and certain grades will also take science and writing tests. What material that is actually covered on the tests will vary by grade level, and theoretically will cover everything that the student learned during the year.

The students scores on the test in the district as a whole contribute to the school making AYP, or Annual Yearly Progress, which contributes to federal funding that the school receives.

The four possibilities of scores are Advanced, Proficient, Basic and Below Basic. The passing scores are proficient and advanced, so these are the scores to shoot for.

Best of Luck!
