The parking is terrible. School events require us to walk uphill over a mile. We both have severe back issues from a car accident. I can drop my partner off, but that still requires me to walk a mile after 45+ minutes in traffic. Our kid has had trouble with tests due to reading difficulties so they've been reading her the tests. This is a valid stopgap while addressing the root problem. However, they're not addressing the root problem, so it seems like just a way to sweep the problem under the rug while keeping scores up. They've bought into this culture of terror. Despite the fact that a kid is more likely to be hit by lightning than injured by an adult in school they still have the place on lockdown. You'll be screened through a veriphone at a locked door, treated rudely by the staff, even have your license taken when you enter. I will say that the teacher's have mostly been nice when we've needed to talk to them. They respond via email, which is an absolute must in the 21st century, though I often got a much more in-depth and heartfelt response from the elementary school. All in all, it could be worse, but I'm looking forward to my kids moving on.

Terrible School District. My husband and I are extremely disappointed in my son's high school experience. The district is way to big. Teachers and guidance counselors do nothing for the kids. Bullying and Drugs are a major issue in the high school. Everyone just turns a blind eye. Nothing will ever change. If you have a choice, do not send your kids here.

Canonsburg Middle School is a pretty decent school over all, I believe what the student will put into the learning experience the student will get out of the learning experience. However, it does seem at times that sports are just as important as gneral studies. In general the teachers (most of them) are caring and passioate about teaching, but there are some teachers that I found lazy and uninterested. It was just a job for them they seemed to just be passing through, and unfortunately they are still there collecting a paycheck. There is VERY HUGE bullying problem at the school although they profess to have a No Bully Zone present, it's just for show. Often times I'd hear from my child that Mr. Manion has a group of students that are suppose to head the "No Bully Zone" but these students ARE INDEED the ACTUAL bullies.
