A Snapshot of Northside Pittsburgh Public Schools Data

Data from the 2023-2024 school year reveals that too many Northside kids attending Pittsburgh Public Schools (PPS) are not reading or doing math on grade level. Many students aren’t reaching critical academic milestones – like taking Algebra by the 8^thgrade or demonstrating college readiness as measured by the state Keystone exams. Student attendance is another area of growth. Too many students are missing too much school.

The following data is a snapshot of how students attending Northside PPS Schools are performing in literacy, math, college readiness indicators and attendance.

Literacy & Math Indicators:

· Only 21% of students in grades 3-8 (276 out of 1,292) scored Proficientor Advanced on the state reading test.

· 45% of 3rd graders scored on grade level.

Early reading success is one of the strongest predictors of future academicachievement.

· Just 12% of 8th graders (27 out of 220) took Algebra I by the end of 8^thgrade. This is in part due to the lack of Algebra offerings at Northside middle or K-8 schools.

Algebra by 8th grade is a national benchmark for college and STEM readiness.

College Readiness Indicators:

Keystone Exams are taken by every high school student following thecompletion of course work in literature, biology and algebra. Passing theKeystone Exams is required for graduation and is a predictor of readiness forpost-secondary success.
