Beginning with this school year, Algebra I, literature and biology Keystone exams will replace the 11th-grade PSSA tests in math, reading and science.

Keystone exams are end-of-course assessments designed to evaluate proficiency in the content of the academic classes.

Beginning with the class of 2017, students must demonstrate proficiency in these areas to graduate.

All students in grade 9, 10 and 11 must participate in these exams.

Students will have multiple opportunities to take the Keystone exams throughout their high school careers.

A tentative Keystone exam assessment schedule was sent home with students' school information.

Please take a moment to review it.

Additional information will be provided to students and parents at a later date.
