Standard & Poor's School Evaluation Services has posted Pennsylvania Statewide Highlights 1997-2000, a four-page document that complements the 50-page Statewide Insights report released last week. It can be
found at http://www.ses.standardandpoors.com under "What's New."
The Highlights document provides a quick overview for those looking for a statewide perspective. Graphics and text cover topics, such as:
· Advanced Placement and SAT test results by student group and gender (such disaggregated data are now required by the federal No Child Left Behind Act)
· Class size
· Pennsylvania's national rankings
· Total spending and where the dollars are allocated
· Local, state and federal revenues
