The 2010-2011 Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) results show that 89 percent of tested high school students measure with "advanced" or “proficient” reading skills, according to the recently released test results from the Pennsylvania Department of Education.
The PSSA, which measures how well students have achieved in reading, mathematics, science and writing according to the DEP, found that every district school, except for Conshohocken Elementary, had more than half of tested students categorized as “advanced” reading skills.
