Failing to Make the Grade
The bad news: 47 Allegheny County schools failed to make "adequate yearly progress" this year, mirroring a trend that's happening statewide. Recent PSSA scores were used to determine these assessments.
The good news: Mt. Lebanon schools continue to rock, with all schools performing very well and Lincoln Elementary School being recognized as one of two schools statewide where all students scored proficient in third- and fifth-grade reading and math.
From the Tribune-Review article:
"Educators know what works at Mt. Lebanon's Lincoln Elementary School, one of two schools statewide where all students scored proficient in third- and fifth-grade reading and math. The only other school with that distinction was Laboratory Charter School in Philadelphia.
"It's a tribute to the curriculum, excellent teachers, parents and principals setting the climate in the building," Mt. Lebanon Superintendent George Wilson said. "But parents always have high expectations. That's a big reason why people move to Mt. Lebanon."
