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

This is a review from someone who is not from the area. We relocated to Pittsburgh a year and a half ago so we we're not familiar with the area or the schools around us, and I always take reviews with a grain of salt. We are on the border between Brentwood & Carrick and were unsure what school my daughter would end up at, but lets be honest, we were hoping for Brentwood because.. reviews. Hate to say that but like I said, I didn't have any understanding of the area all that much and the move happened fast. But my daughter is now in her second year and it's really unfortunate that this school gets so much hate because coming in from a whole different state was stressful enough for her but there's been nothing but good support for her from admin and her classmates. I'm not familiar with anything going on there that would warrant such a bad review. My wife is more active with her activities than I but no red flags have ever come up. Her grades are consistently well, and there's been more than enough opportunities for her to get more help when she needed it. We're always in the know about what's going on.. sometimes a little TOO much with the emails but I think that's a minor nuisance and not even that big of a deal.I hope parents will do their homework when it comes to their kids education. It's easy to rely on a few bad reviews or get fixated on external things. I'll leave my review up until something changes.

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

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!

For the last four years my boys have been students at Arlington, one being on the Autism spectrum, that right there already tells a lot as a parent. The first day we felt welcomed and supported by staff. My children have flourished in this environment, developing a love for learning that I attribute to the school's nurturing approach. Some may have different opinions on Arlington and that's ok, I'm here to let you know this 100% community school is filled with amazing teachers and staff that care about their student's well-being and growth. We lack parent engagement. A handful of dedicated parents and I started the PTO, we're proud of that! We will continue to support and help the amazing teachers, staff, and other parents and guardians keep Arlington safe and positive learning environment. Eagles!!

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