The North Allegheny School District has boasted some high educational achievements within the past few years. School directors had wanted the district to be more than just “good.” They wanted to be in the top 100 districts in the country.
To do this, they increased the number of advanced placement (AP) courses and scheduled regular curriculum reviews. The result is a great increase of students who are outperforming their peers on state and national levels.
Other achievement highlights include:
- An average score of 1705 on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SATs), a district record
- On the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) tests, students in every grade outperformed the state averages in both reading and math
- On the PSSAs, more than 90 percent of fifth-, eighth- and 11th-graders scored advanced or proficient on the writing exam.
- The Iowa Test of Basic Skills scores both outperformed national averages and exceeded expectations.
- There were 208 advanced placement scholars last year.
