Loved it. I wish DR.Oak didn’t retire the year I graduated from their.

Highly motivated staff. Excellent connections to the wider community with mentoring and after-school programs. Peaceful, positive environment.

The school has excellent leadership & teaching staff. I've seen a great deal of improvement in my son's reading ability plus the have a solid instrumental program. The school principal is by far the best I've seen in the two districts my son has attended

DONT SEND UR CHILD HERE. My daughter was bullied and the teacher, principal and social worker did absolutely nothing to protect her or stop the bullying from continuing. They even avoided me at all costs and refused to meet with me or tell the other parent of the bully what was going on. My daughter attended from K-4 and since nothing was ever resolved or addressed, I had to transfer schools since my daughter was severely depressed and anxious going here on a daily basis. All I can say is that if your child is shy, introverted, or a potential target in anyway to bullies, good luck! Because the staff DO NOT CARE AT ALL about the safety or well being of ur child. Now my daughter is in a new school and thriving. I will never ever EVER recommend this school to anybody I meet EVER

This 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!

Some teachers are great. But there are a few teachers that I cannot understand as to why they have choose to teach. Some are rude when you ask for help and do not support the children in a positive way. There are fights and some teachers or staff just stand there and watch. I know because I have seen several videos posted on Facebook before the restriction of cellphones.

I’m so glad I took my children out of Pittsburgh public schools they don’t know how to engage with the parents they do the kids wrong and they make the graduation rate of our urban youths so low they need to get rid of the whole board and staff and get them kids some real educators seriously

Excellent school, great service, for anyone looking to settle down in the highland park area
