Pennsylvania. Dept. of Education. 2007-08 District Level Math and Reading PSSA Results. 14 Aug. 2008. 14 Jan. 2009 <http://www.pde.state.pa.us/a_and_t/lib/a_and_t/2008_District_Level_PSSA_Results.xls>.

This source provided a wealth of information. It contained all PSSA scores for every district in the state. It included information on the number of kids tested per district, and breakdowns by status- gender, IEP, ELL, race, migrants, economic disadvantage, Title I, and Title III. Information was given in percentages of students who scored Below Basic, Basic, Proficient, and Advanced. The numbers of students to whom each category was applicable were also included.

It was extremely helpful to have this information as an excel file, as all categories could then be sorted. This made it easy to see which districts had high numbers of failing students, and which had few students score only Below Basic. It was also extremely helpful in determining district size, with how many students took the test in each district. Also, it provided how many students tested in each district were considered economically disadvantaged.
