That's because it's charter schools, those "public schools" that don't have to follow the same rules as real public schools.
The state's secretary of ed merely cooks the books to help these shitbag schools when they can't make the grade:
Education Secretary Ron Tomalis' change, made without federal approval, might have skewed the results of the 2011-12 PSSA scores to make it appear charter schools were outperforming traditional public schools, according to a Morning Call review of publicly available test score data.
The U.S. Department of Education has final authority over any changes in how states grade public schools, school districts and any other "local education agency" under the No Child Left Behind Act.
Over the summer, the state Department of Education requested a change in how charter schools' test results are measured to determine adequate yearly progress under the law.
Duncan will probably let him get away with it.
Tomalis should be doing prison time.
