There are a number of PSSA data tools that we have access to such as eMetric and PVAAS. Those tools can provide us with lots of data. However, several administrators have contacted me about improving their Excel skills to better manipulate the data sheets sent out in July.
Here is a site that might be useful: School Data Tutorials. There are some useful video tutorials, broken up into nice sections. Be sure to check out one of the most useful but least used components of Excel: Pivot Tables. So much you can do with data!
Let me know if this looks interesting to you and if you’d like more help!

This is a very user friendly site. I did take a 3 credit graduate course in Microsoft Office that has helped me when I work in Excel. However, there are some nice refreshers here.
Excel has fantastic utility and is definitely worth learning and using.Barbara Samide on 09/03 at 12:12 PM -
I spent the evening going back and forth between the tutorials on pivot tables and my own data. I think I am beginning to understand them and use them. It makes doing sorts with your data much easier. Thanks Randy for this information.
