Delaware County is home to five of the state’s Top 100 highest-scoring schools on the sixth-grade PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) exams, writes Ethan Lott for the Philadelphia Business Journal.

The PSSAs are taken by students in grades three through eight, whereas students in high school take the Keystone Exams. The Pittsburgh Business Times used the results recently released by the Pennsylvania Department of Education to create the list of the Top 100 highest-scoring schools on the sixth-grade exam for the 2017-18 school year.

The following handful of Delaware County schools made the list. They are preceded by their overall ranking:

  • 20. Radnor Middle School
  • 62. Strath Haven Middle School
  • 65. Springton Lake Middle School (Rose Tree Media S.D.)
  • 70. E.T. Richardson Middle School (Springfield S.D.)
  • 73. Haverford Middle School
