PSSA Information
Students within the Steelton-Highspire School District participate in the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) evaluations and Keystone exams.
The PSSA assessments provide valuable insights into the academic performance of students in our elementary and middle schools, benchmarked against Pennsylvania's educational standards in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science and Technology. These individual student scores are utilized to customize educational approaches, while aggregate school scores guide improvements to our curriculum and teaching methods.
