The Keystone Exams are end-of-course assessments designed to assess proficiency in the subject areas of Algebra I, Literature, and Biology. The Keystone Exams are one component of Pennsylvania’s  new system of high school graduation requirements. Keystone Exams will help school districts guide students toward meeting state standards.

Attendance at Keystones is required for all eligible students.  These students include any 11th grader who has not yet taken the exams, students in any grade who are currently in a Keystone course, or students who previously took the exams but did not score Proficient or Advanced.

These exams are one component of Pennsylvania’s new system of high school graduation requirements which will help schools guide students toward meeting state standards. During that time, your attendance in school will be based on attendance at the required testing site. Please contact your Family Coach if you have any questions.

The Pennsylvania Dept. of Education has created a new policy regarding cell phones at Keystone testing sites.  If a student brings a cell phone to the testing site, it must be checked in and kept by Agora staff.  Cell phones are not allowed in the possession of the student, whether it is on their person, or in bags or other items accompanying them, during testing.  It is recommended that students leave cell phones at home.

The following forms should be filled out prior to arrival at the site in order to make the sign-in process quicker and easier.  All students must have an Emergency Contact and Health Info form filled out for the site.  If a student is using public transportation or transporting themselves to the site, they must have signed and completed Self-transport form with them prior to arrival.  Any students who may need medication during the testing time must turn in a completed Self-administration of Medication form.
