I agree, making education choices can be very, very hard! Zillow has greatly apologized for providing us with some incorrect information and is seeking to change their fact sources. That being said, I have also edited out some parts of the article that were deemed incorrect info. We always seek to be a site of good & accurate information, so we apologize for anything that was inaccurate.

There's a lot of incorrect information in there that I noticed but won't summarize because it has already been pointed out in the comment above. You're doing a great job, Kelly, and I loved reading about you in Next Pittsburgh yesterday!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09468965470406404720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914540329296440777.post-7945707105747105652014-08-26T11:58:58.587-07:002014-08-26T11:58:58.587-07:00I would LOVE to find a good comparison of local sc...I would LOVE to find a good comparison of local schools. We live in the city with our 3yo, and are trying to figure out if we will move to another district, or try to navigate the city magnet school system (which is a bit overwhelming to me), or possibly pay for a private school (probably cheaper than moving to Mt. Lebo!). This article unfortunately was not very helpful. It incorrectly stated that all the schools are in the pittsburgh school district. None of the elementary schools are, and 1 of the high schools is not. All 3 high schools do not serve a neighborhood, but are 2 magnet schools within the Pittsburgh SD and a PA charter school. The schools have a complicated lottery and audition/score based admissions. The elementary schools summaries are ok, but no middle/high school info, and seem like a random choosing of 3 decent elementary schools among the 191 public Allegheny County elementary schools. Also, the 14:1 student/teacher ratio is the state average so not stellar, and really does not reflect class size anyway since there is so much variance between schools in for example special ed programs offered. <br />Sorry to be negative. Making education choices is just hard, and is just going to require time and lots of research. No criticism to you Momtourage!!! I love your site and have especially loved your reviews of fun places to bring kids! Just tried the Upper St Clair pool and snapology based on your recommendation and will make both of them regular stops. So much fun!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02485084903250911005noreply@blogger.com
