*PA Top Decile: Based on PDE-released data, all schools at this grade level were ranked-ordered based on combined
levels of advanced/proficient performance. A benchmark level of the top 10% of schools was then identified. This
comparison metric provides greater context for evaluating performance levels of high performing schools.
