  • COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

    Spring Grove Area School District’s Comprehensive Plan has been approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education for implementation during the July 1, 2019, to June 30, 2022, cycle. This plan was developed during the 2017-2018 school year by a large number of individuals representing a cross-section of the District’s stakeholders. The Oversight Committee, listed in the plan, met to review the work that occurred by smaller subcommittees. Each building’s School Improvement Team provided a multitude of data that was used to compile the district plan. Additionally, staff members at the six building levels provided district accomplishments and concerns that led to the development of six action goals as included. These goals will guide the District’s planning presently and in the future.

  • SCHOOL PERFORMANCE PROFILE

    The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) uses data from Pennsylvania’s School Performance Profile (SPP) to more comprehensively assess the academic performance of public schools in the state.  Again this fall, PDE released School Performance Profile (SPP) information for many public, charter, charter/cyber, and cyber school who gave the Keystone Exams in 2017.

    The SPP score is a mathematical calculation of a variety of variables that include student achievement and growth on the Keystone Exams, attendance rates, promotion rates, test participation rates, and cohort graduation rates.

    Many data elements come together to create the academic performance score.  These elements are categorized into five areas, which include:

    • Indicators of Academic Achievement
    • Indicators of Closing the Achievement Gap - All Students
    • Indicators of Closing the Achievement Gap - Historically Underperforming Students
    • Indicators of Academic Growth/PVAAS
    • Other Academic Indicators
