PSSA

toc =PSSA=

The PSSA is the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment, a standards based criterion-referenced assessment typically given to students in grades 3,5,8,11.

For grade 11 students the PSSA will be replaced by the Keystone Exams which will make up at least a third of the final grade for some core subjects.
