The 2011 Keystone Achievement Awards are given to public schools that achieved Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) in both the 2009-10 and the 2010-11 school years.
AYP is determined, in part, by a school’s performance on the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA), the standardized test given annually to students in grades three through eight and grade 11.
