Under the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), school districts are required to provide parents and community members with a detailed report about student achievement in their schools.

PRSD published a 2007 Annual Report about student achievement. This document will be mailed out to residents.

What is this Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) report?

This report is a summary of our district's Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) results. The purpose of AYP is to ensure that all students have reading and math skills that prepare them for the future. Adequate Yearly Progress measures whether each school has met the improvement goals established by the Federal No Child Left Behind Act. For a school to "meet AYP," students in the school must meet goals in three areas: (1) Attendance (for schools without a High School graduating class) or Graduation (for schools with a High School graduating class), (2) Academic Performance, and (3) Test Participation.

For Pine-Richland, the test (the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment — PSSA) taken by students in Grades 5 and 8 is used to calculate Academic Performance and Test Participation rates in Reading and Mathematics.

Did Pine-Richland meet all AYP targets?

Pine-Richland all AYP Targets. This is good news! This district is on track to meet the needs of all students.
