- Philadelphia’s state test scores are delayed this year
State test scores, including PSSA and Keystone exams for Philadelphia, have been delayed because the state announced that the results are on hold. This delay prevents school districts from using the 2025-26 assessment data to evaluate student achievement or for mandatory school selection decisions. Students will instead take an alternative assessment during the fall.
