Upper St. Clair High School Ranked Among PA's Best: Study

UPPER ST. CLAIR, PA - A new list that analyzes the state's very best high schools has been
released, and shows which public and private institutions are among the top 100 in Pennsylvania. Upper St. Clair was among the top public high schools from southwestern Pennsylvania.

Niche.com, which specializes in all different types of rankings, including schools, has created a new list that is a bit different than the usual lists the company is known for. In this one, Niche has
included both public and private Schools. That may not sound different than Niche's usual rankings but this list includes both private and public schools and also includes elementary, middle and high schools allin the same list. Please note that this is not a ranking, but a search
list, where you can see and compare all schools grouped together, organized by overall grade.

To come up with the rankings, each school received a letter grade in the following categories: Academics; Diversity; Teachers; College Prep; Clubs & Activities; Health & Safety; Administration; Sports; Food; and Resources & Facilities.
