GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My overall experience at Pittsburgh Science and Technology has been very positive. I've met lots of new people, gained lots of experience, and have grown more adept as an adult. The faculty is very well rounded and they can assist with almost anything you need.

I just started a couple of month ago but I have over all enjoyed my time their. The classes are more involved and the teachers want to help you succeed. I also appreciate that we can do retakes because it shows the teachers care about us doing well not just the grades.
1.0 Junior

My personal opinion and view of Pittsburgh Science and Technology Academy in Pennsylvania is that the equity within the school is beyond horrid. There is little to no equality between students and favoritism is obviously present. We have limited opportunities that involve science as well as a majority of our classes being basic classes such as English 1-4 and several generic math classes. There is no real-world application and the preparation for universities is non-existent. I don't think Pittsburgh Science and Technology Academy is a school to go to if you want to excel in college or find a job that suits you best. It's a school to go to to pass the time in your teen years.
