Research Avonworth Elementary School Public Schools in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

“This is an awesome school district! The teachers have been very attentive to both of my children as well as to their differing learning styles. As for communication, no one is perfect; however, they are as close as they can get. We get a ton of communication relative to most activities that occur at the school. It's been my experience that many parents don't take the time to open the child's 'take home folder' from school. That's where I find most of the communications from the school .. and believe me, some days I wish it was empty!”

“Excellent school ! Students are evaluated with one on one basis according to their level of understanding on each subject.”

“Although I believe my son's teacher is excellent, the director of curriculum and principal are below average. Communication is lacking unless you are one of the favorites or locals who have had generations of children within the system. There has been a total lack of attention to the ever growing student population and the elementary school is at its maximum capacity. They still can not tell us what the plan will be for the increase of children. We are not notified of assemblies and in fact my 5 year old came home to tell me about drugs! Parents should be aware of all assemblies. Very poor communication from the part of the principal. Crisis intervention is the management style. As far as safty is concerned, I encountered parents walking in the halls without proper identification.”

“The elementary school is second to none. The teachers and staff are amazing! My hope is that the middle and high school follow the superior lead of the elementary school!”
