We posted about this a while back but wanted to give it some more focus, as it's quite an achievement for our home town. From the Johnstown Tribune-Democrat:
A regional magazine’s analysis shows a large disparity in test scores among Cambria and Somerset county school districts.You can read the full story here.
Windber Area topped the area districts, ranking 67th out of 500 in the state. Turkeyfoot Valley Area, at 478th, and Greater Johnstown, at 477th, trailed the local pack.
The Pittsburgh Business Times published the rankings in its April edition, based on three years of Pennsylvania System of School Assessment exam scores.
“It shows consistency,” Windber schools Superintendent Rick Huffman said. “It is not just a good group (of students) that comes through. It shows you have a process in place.”
Windber moved up from 83rd on last year’s report and from 118th two years ago.
“We are now in the top 15 percent,” Huffman said. “We are very pleased with that.”
