Summary

Pittsburgh Minadeo K-5 is an elementary school in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, serving 309 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Pittsburgh School District, which is ranked 450 out of 606 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pittsburgh Minadeo K-5 has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts below the state and district averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 36.9% in Math and 45.1% in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 41.7% and 48.5%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as male students and low socioeconomic status students. However, the school's African American students perform relatively better, ranking in the top 40-50% of Pennsylvania elementary schools for this subgroup.

The nearby schools, such as Pittsburgh Faison K-5, Pittsburgh Lincoln K-5, and Pittsburgh Linden K-5, also have relatively low academic performance, with proficiency rates below the state averages. However, some schools like Pittsburgh Colfax K-8 and Pittsburgh Greenfield K-8 perform significantly better, with proficiency rates well above the district and state averages. The high-performing schools tend to have lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement.

I'm an ex student of Minadeo and it was amazing there, especially with Mrs. Kelly there. Close Quote

Minadeo is a wonderful school that reflects the diversity of Pittsburgh neighborhoods. We've seen some difficulties in the past few years, but a new principal has breathed new life into the school. Enrollment has gone up almost 20 this year alone (after a year-over-year decline) and our parents and kids are more engaged than ever!

Be sure to visit any school before making decisions about which school to attend. Close Quote
