Under the current regulations for the Keystone Exams, students who receive testing accomodations for the PSSA would also receive them for the Keystone Exams. The Keystone Exams are required for students in this year's 8th grade. Students in 8th grade would be required to complete four of the six Keystone Exams. This year's 7th grade would be required to complete five of the six exams and finally, students in this year's 6th grade would be required to complete all six. As for overall graduation rate, I expect it to decline slightly as some students will be unable to pass the Keystone Exams and unfortunately, unable to meet proficiency through the State's project-based assessment. However, the district will provide all possible remediation to assist students in passing the exams.
