Allderdice High School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2008-03-27 “This shcool is one of the worst in the district with executions of violence among the students and a negative enviornment. It's horrible, the students are also very racist.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2008-03-26 “This school is all hype, smoke and mirrors. As i figured, the school over-inflates their college attendance numbers to make the academics sound better then they really are. My daughter goes there, against my wishes and exactly as I expected happened. She thought it was really cool and hip. But now it's ime to go to college and she is not prepared. And try to talk to one of the teachers. They just blow you off.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 5 2005-11-29 “The best public school in Pittsburgh. The best students go to Ivy League colleges. You can choose to do no work at all and still pass-- or you can take advantage of the highest level classes and earn a place in the best universities. You can excell if you want to, and surround yourself with like-mnded students. I would not be afraid to send my child here and I would save myself from paying for private school. The key is to take the hardest classes.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2005-10-17 “I am a new student here at Allderdice. It is fantastic. The teachers and students are really nice, not to mention they really know what they are doing. Excellent education and lots of available activities for everyone.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 1 2004-08-30 “I do not like the school very much. First of a ll, it gives little vacations, which includes a three day spring break. The health and building of the school can be comparable to that of a prison. In fact the teachers got a memo that stated that the school was the 4th worst in the district, I believe, in terms of health and upkeep. The school population is huge which doesn't make for a happy enviornment. I came from a little private school where all 30 people in my grade knew each other. In Allderdice I'm lucky if one of my friends is in the same class as me. Don't get me wrong, I am not a boneheaad, I was in the top 5th percentile of my 10th grade class of about 400 people, but this school has terrible quality. Students coming from small private schools would have-a-difficult-time adjusting.”
