system of high school graduation requirements and help school
districts guide students toward meeting state standards. Keystone
Exams are typically taken during the spring of the year in which a
student is enrolled in the given course. Students must demonstrate
proficiency in each of the three Keystone Exams. If a student does
not receive a score of “Advanced” or “Proficient” on a Keystone
Exam, the student is permitted to retest during designated windows
established by the Pennsylvania Department of Education.
✓ Presently, the graduating class of 2022 has a statewide graduation
requirement for proficiency on the Keystone Exams. While there is
no statewide graduation requirement for the classes of 2019, 2020,
and 2021, federal regulations still require schools to participate in
state assessments. ​In addition, the Pine-Richland graduation
policy requirements stipulate that students must demonstrate
mastery of the PA Core Standards on the Keystone Exams or
local assessments.
✓ Students who score below proficient on any Keystone Exam are
encouraged to complete a corresponding Keystone supplemental
instruction course. Pine-Richland High School offers two options
for remediation: USA Test Prep and a face-to-face course on an
A/B day schedule (Algebra and Biology only). Decisions about the
appropriate intervention are made on an individual student basis.
A student’s best score on each Keystone Exam will appear on their
transcript.
