to concentrate more fully. Letters to parents about the start of the

SRA Basics:
SRA is an acronym for Special Review Assessment. The SRA is available
only to seniors who received “partially proficient”
either in Math or Language Arts Literacy on the HSPA taken in March
of the Junior Year. PHHS schedules seniors in need of the SRA process
specially to make sure the SRA is completed by March 31 of the senior’s
graduation year. This way, PHHS is able to help the student meet
all graduation requirements.
