Additionally, Donaldson's PSSA Science proficiency rate of 97.7% in 2023-2024 is notably higher than the district and state averages.

While all three schools in the West Allegheny School District maintain strong performance, there are some notable differences in their socioeconomic factors.

These disparities may have implications for resource allocation and support within the district.
