PSSA ELA

Note: A separate assessment for Reading was last administered in Spring 2014. Reading is now tested as part of the English Language Arts
(ELA) assessment first offered in Spring 2015. Spring 2016 is the second year the ELA assessment has been given. We do not yet have trend
data for this test. Because Reading and ELA are different assessments, comparisons between results may not be made.
