		Measures of school progress in Pennsylvania have been based on results of the state standardized test in reading and math, known as the PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment).

		A school identified as “Making Progress” is one that was previously in either school improvement or corrective action but has made AYP for one year.
