See How Gladwyne And Belmont Hills Elementary Schools Did On Latest PA School Performance Profile

The state released its School Performance Profile scores Thursday, and after a year of not being included in the assessment, elementary schools are back on the radar, so let's find out how Belmont Hills and Gladwyne elementary schools fared in the 2015-2015 scoring.

According to SPP data, Belmont Hills earned an overall 72 academic score, while Gladwyne earned an 82.1.

When the schools were last assessed in the 2013-2014 academic year, Belmont Hills scored 92.3 and Gladwyne for a 90.5.

The assessment, done each year, gives each school a score of up to 100 using several factors, including test scores, student improvement from the past year, as well as graduation rates.

This year’s School Performance Profile scores are the first to reflect student performance on the new more rigorous PSSA, according to officials at the Pennsylvania Department of Education.

Officials say the School Performance Profile is just one indicator of how schools are supporting student learning.

Because the formula used to determine the score is "heavily dependent" on standardized test scores, the department is working with stakeholders to determine how to make it a "better, more holistic measure," Pennsylvania Department of Education Secretary Pedro Rivera said.
