Goals and Interim Targets
Pennsylvania's proposed long-term goals apply to all public schools and to each student subgroup.
Pennsylvania aims to reduce, by half, the statewide percentage of non-proficient students on state assessments by the end of the 2029-30 school year. This timeline will allow academic planning and programming to support a cohort of students across the full span of their public education experience, from kindergarten through grade 12.
Interim goals were established by dividing the 2030 numeric goals by 13, representing 13 years from 2017-18 to 2029-30.
The following charts display the Statewide 2030 Goals and Targets for each of the following indicators:
- Academic Achievement (Percent Proficient and Advanced on English Language Arts/Literature, Mathematics/Algebra, English Language Proficiency)
- 4-year and 5-year Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate
- English Language Proficiency
State Assessment Measures - English Language Arts
