S&P Posts “Statewide Highlights” on Web Site

 

   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
