Summary

Myrtle Ave School is an elementary school in Pittsburgh, PA, serving 323 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Keystone Oaks School District, which is ranked 70 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 4-star rating. Myrtle Ave School consistently outperforms the state average in PSSA Math and English Language Arts proficiency, with 57.7% of its students scoring proficient or better in PSSA Math compared to the state average of 41.7%. However, the school lags behind its own district's performance, and its Asian student subgroup ranks in the bottom 10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools.

Myrtle Ave School has a relatively high per-student spending of around $18,000 and maintains a low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10 to 13.8 students per teacher in recent years. This suggests a strong investment in resources and smaller class sizes, which may contribute to the school's overall academic performance. The school also serves a high-need student population, with 52.3% to 61.3% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in recent years.

When compared to nearby schools, Markham Elementary School in the Mt.

I had to pull my child out of Myrtle due to ill communication and negligence of the faculty. I would not recommend any parent send their child to Myrtle Elementary. Close Quote
