Does Pssa Count as a Grade?

Also known as PSSA, these Pennsylvania standardized tests measure the progress of students from 3rd grade to 8th grade, and 11th grade. PSSA test results provide actionable data that will help parents, teachers, and students improve academic performance in reading, math, writing, and science.

Are PSSA tests graded?

The PSSA tests students in grades 3 through 8 in English, Language Arts, and Math, and students in grades 4 and 8 are assessed in science.

Do PSSA scores affect grades?

Another part of the false narrative against the PSSA tests is that they are "high stakes." But the PSSA scores have no influence on promotion, placement, or grades for our students.
