Does No Child Left Behind Apply to PAVCS?
In accordance with ACT 22, the Pennsylvania Charter School Law, all of our students are required to take the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) in the areas of Math, Reading, Writing and Science at the grade levels prescribed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. We must reach the No Child Left Behind accountability standards as set by the state. PAVCS must meet all state standards for Adequate Yearly Progress in relation to teacher certification and student achievement. In addition, as a charter school we provide annual reports to the state, and must have our charter renewed by the Pennsylvania Department of Education every five years.
