Perkiomen Valley has long had a goal
of having all students reading on or
above grade level by the conclusion
of third grade. Students who cannot
read on grade level by the end of
third grade have a greater likelihood
of struggling as they continue their
studies.
With the adoption of the Future
Ready PA Index, the state has also
placed an emphasis on this bench-
mark by including it as an “on-track
measure.” Another “on-track mea-
sure” being monitored by the state is
seventh-grade math proficiency.
The charts on this page show how
PV compares to surrounding districts
with regard to these benchmarks.
When accessing the Future Ready
PA Index online, visitors will be able
to see how much progress each PV
school is making toward these on-
track measures through the illustra-
tion of a blue, green or red mark.
Most of our schools have been des-
ignated as exceeding performance
standards for on-track measures.

Other on-track measures being
monitored by the state include En-
glish Language proficiency and
attendance. No PV school has a large
enough English Language Learner
population for progress toward this
measure to be calculated. Regular
attendance is measured and schools
receive a blue, green or red mark
depending upon how they compare
to the state performance target.
