State Releases Central Bucks' Academic Performance Scores

How well did Central Bucks high schools perform in 2015?

The annual School Performance Profile (SPP) scores and Keystone Exam results have been released for the 2015 school year.

The statistics measure the school’s ability to prepare high school students for college and their future careers.

Central Bucks West scored 83.3, which is in the third highest grouping of scores, behind 100 or greater and 90 to 99. That is down from the year before, when the school scored 99.2.

Central Bucks East scored 96, which is the second highest grouping of scores. That is down from last year, when the school scored 101.1.

Central Bucks South scored 88.8, down from 97.1 in 2013-2014.

All three Central Bucks scored 100 on several sub-categories.

“Pennsylvania students are working toward college and career readiness, and posting School Performance Profile scores for schools with an 11th grade demonstrates school-level results in meeting that standard,” Education Secretary Pedro A. Rivera said in a press release.

While the SPP is a mixture of many factors, it relies heavily upon state assessment scores. It also includes college readiness tests, graduation and attendance rates, and number of rigorous courses, among other things.
