2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school has helped me so much. I went from getting straight C's to straight A's and the teachers are very helpful. I did feel like I wouldn't fit in because I am a different race than most of the students that go here, but I've fit in perfectly and made lots of friends. I've experienced no bullying here or anything and the teachers are also great. I was nervous about this school at first from what I had heard about it, but now I love it and wouldn't want to be anywhere else!Student Review8y ago - Pittsburgh Classical 6-8

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is phenomenal. We are so fortunate to go here. Our daughter loves school, has made wonderful friends. From the first week the teachers all seem to know every child by name. Students are greeted each morning with an all-school assembly with drumming, singing, a welcome message by the Principal, and the school rock band rocking out. Its a fantastic way to start the day! There are tons of field trips, lots of art and music incorporated into each day. We love it here!Parent Review8y ago - Pittsburgh Manchester K-8
