The Keystone Assessments are Pennsylvania’s end-of-course, standards-based exams that measure student proficiency in Algebra I, Literature, and Biology. They provide students, parents, educators, and the public with a clear understanding of academic achievement and progress toward meeting state standards. Students typically take these exams after completing the related course, helping gauge readiness for graduation.
Individual student scores, shared with schools and families, help identify areas where additional support or enrichment may be needed. At the school and district level, results are used to guide curriculum planning, improve instruction, and support data-driven decision-making.
