I feel that Mt Lebanon High School does a great job of preparing you for college. The curriculum is demanding but does help in the long run. The focus lots on math and writing. The writing aspect has been extremely helpful in my extended school career.

I would say Mount Lebanon Senior High School is an excellent school with a lot of good academic courses , club and activities. I transionned from France to the USA in 2024 , and first thing I noticed was the lack of days of vacation. The work rate is pretty fast too , teachers do their best possible to move from an unit to the other one as fast as possible.

The first post was pretty much correct. Do not move here if you don’t have money or can do something for someone. Also, there is no help for kids who struggle. You will however be harassed or ignored. Stay away.
