Spring 2016 PSSA Participation RateLess Than 95%*
The goal of 95% participation rate is still a federal requirement under the new Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). Participation is calculated for the school and district levels for each subject specific PSSA test.
Impact: In the ESSA it is not clear yet what will happen with the federal designations for schools and districts with less than a 95% participation rate. We anticipate that School Performance Profile (SPP) score for the school will be impacted.
