School honored for academics

Coudersport Area School District has received a Keystone Achievement Award in recognition of the school's academic performance.

The award is given to a public school that has achieved "adequate yearly progress" (AYP) on standardized tests for two consecutive years. This year's award is for meeting AYP standards in the 2005- 2006 and 2006-2007 school years at both the high school and the elementary school.

AYP is determined in part by performance on the Pa. System of School Assessment, given annually to students in grades 3-8 and 11. This is the school's fourth Keystone Achievement Award.
