The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) has announced that local education agencies (LEAs) will be able to view their 2013 District Student Data File on July 18, 2013. This file can be accessed by using the PA eDIRECT web site, at https://pa.drcedirect.com, where LEAs can view PSSA data for students in Grades 3-8 and the 2013 for students in Grade 11 Keystone Exam data.  

For the purposes of accountability, it is crucial for this data to be accurate. Upon reviewing the data, LEAs have the opportunity to update demographic and attribution data from July 18, 2013 – July 26, 2013. The 2013 Accountability Data Field Update Process and Procedures along with the necessary forms are outlined on the Pennsylvania Department of Education web site at http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/state_assessment_system/20965/pennsylvania_accountability_system_(pas)/1190535.
