After graduating from West Allegheny I can confidently say that this was an extremely mediocre High School experience. There are some brilliant teachers that are overqualified for their work. The amount of braindead, useless, mind-numbing work that I was given at this school was insane. After looking back, I can not tell you one thing that would really help me for my future. AP teachers here, for the most part, were a joke. My 8th grade English teacher and 12th grade English teacher went above and beyond. I didn't study or do homework at ALL outside of school and cruised through despite receiving a 4.3 weighted GPA. If you want your children to develop mediocre studying skills and experience subpar teaching send them here.

My time at West Allegheny was great. I feel I was prepared to move on and succeed in college.

West Allegheny has been my daughter's school since kindergarten. We have had nothing but a positive experience throughout her eleven years in the district. Each elementary school has a swimming pool which allows children to learn to swim when they should and not wait until high school. The middle school program addresses the changes and challenges of the children growing into young adults blended well with academic studies. The high school program offers several college prep classes and numerous extra curricular activities for varied interest. I find the staff and administration knowledgeable and engaged in my daughter's education. The facilities have recently been renovated and upgraded. The only fault I have with the district is they need to contain costs so our property taxes do not continue to increase. submitted by maw
