The school's proficiency rates on the PSSA exams are significantly lower than the Pittsburgh School District and Pennsylvania state averages across all grades and subjects.

Addressing the school's academic challenges will require a comprehensive approach that considers the unique needs of its student population and implements effective, data-driven strategies to support student learning and achievement.
