This graph shows three data columns for the “% proficient” of the Pennsylvania System of State Assessments (PSSA) for each year. The first column is the score for Pottsville Area High School, the second is the district average, and the third is the state average. Each bar represents the total percentage of students who met the standard, but the bar is also divided to represent the students who performed at an advanced proficiency.

The annual Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) is a standards based criterion-referenced assessment used to measure a student's attainment of the academic standards while also determining the degree to which school programs enable students to attain proficiency of the standards. Every Pennsylvania student in grades 3 through 8 and grade 11 is assessed in reading and math. Every Pennsylvania student in grades 5, 8 and 11 is assessed in writing.
