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.

there is nothing good about this school. they chose favorite. diversity is awful. food horrible. the bullying is never controlled or worked on. Even has sexual assault going on. Drugs are often in the school. Teachers bully students. people of color or mental illness its a subject of being targeted. they dont work with you and if you go here its best to leave as soon as possible. just google the school in new articles.

West Mifflin School District has great elementary schools with some of the best teachers I have met! That being said, both the middle and high schools are a nightmare! Very disorganized lessons and curriculum. The teachers and staff at both schools behave more like students themselves than authority...
