This tool uses Pennsylvania Department of Education data from the 2012 Math and Reading PSSA tests. It includes results from all public schools, including charter schools, but not private and parochial schools, which are not required to take the PSSA.
This raw data may differ from the adjusted data in the reports for adequate yearly progress, known as AYP. The raw PSSA data count demographic subgroups of 10 or more, while AYP data reflect only groups of 40 or more.
